Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This essay analyses women's contribution to territorial development from a gender equality perspective, addressing their role in building inclusive and sustainable communities. Through a historical and theoretical journey, it explores the structural barriers and achievements of feminist movements, highlighting the impact of women in the economic and social spheres. Employing Amartya Sen's capability theory, it examines how women's empowerment and participation enhance collective well-being and promote equitable progress. This analysis underscores the need to remove gender barriers and strengthen women's capabilities for inclusive territorial development.
