Abstract :
Sustainable Development Agenda aims to meet the objectives towards sustainable development with 17 Goals and which is to be achieved by 2030. Women constitute nearly 50 per cent of global population and they have immense capability but because of innumerable causes it has not been utilized effectively. Hence, the current paper attempts to check and compare the above SDG objective Goal 5, which aims at ?Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls?, with the following objectives : (i) To Analyze demographic data which measures the gender disparity, (ii) To analyse the women participation in decision making (iii) to compare the educational status, economic status, labour force participation and social status of male and female (iv) to reveal the Violence/ crime status and (v) to examine the growth prospective of Women entrepreneurs. Using data visualization techniques and descriptive analysis the above objectives are verified. The analysis reveals that countries India and Africa can attain only 25 percent of the goal, whereas countries like Canada,Thailand,Singapore, etc are far ahead in succeeding the aims of SDGs. Hence, these countries must be taken as learning models and try to implement the policies followed by them to achieve the goal of SDG in 2030
