Summary: | The adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015 called for global implementation by all stakeholders involved. Some of the measures put in place to address the SDGs were directly or indirectly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The researcher conducted a bibliometric analysis. The researcher retrieved the data from the Scopus database and analysed it using VOSviewer. This study was located within the conceptual framework of “women empowerment”. The findings reveal that women are still discriminated against in relation to accessing the resources, are not involved in decision-making processes. The main question on women empowerment is, How do we achieve sustainability when operating in dysfunctional communities where “gender equity” and “gender equality” do not even exist? The study recommends conducting periodic bibliometric analysis on women and sustainable development so that emerging trends could be investigated. This would provide awareness to policymakers and researchers on the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. |
