This paper critically examines the urgent intersection between gender inequality and the ethical challenges inherent in sustainability, emphasizing the necessity of inclusive approaches to global sustainable development. While sustainability aims to meet present needs without compromising the capacity of future generations, ethical oversight frequently neglects the systemic and structural gender disparities embedded within socio-economic and environmental systems.The study begins by analyzing the historical and structural roots of gender inequality, highlighting how patriarchal norms and socio-political exclusion have systematically marginalized women and gender-diverse individuals from decision-making, land ownership, education, and access to technology.
