2021 is the beginning of the ‘decade of action’ to realise the SustainableDevelopment Goals by 2030. It is imperative that every single personunderstands the goals, becomes familiar with them and takes individualand collective action to realise them if we want to live a quality life. SDG 5 in particular talks about Gender Equality which in our view is centralto the realisation of the SDGs. Unfortunately in India, women in leadershippositions are not visible and the numbers do not stack up. We have lessthan 10% representation of women in the State Legislative Assembly, 14%in Parliament, about 24% in the formal labour force which is declining yearon year. If you cannot see her, you cannot be her. This book aims to showcase the journeys of women leaders in theirrespective fields and also in the realisation of the 17 SDGs through theirwork. We have scientists, police women, judges and business entrepreneurswho have shared their failures and successes. Through their uniqueperspectives they have shared on how despite one’s backgrounds one canachieve one’s goals, overcome socio-cultural barriers and contribute to thecollective good.
