Safe and affordable transport enables women to fully participate in economic activities as well as in community life and plays an important role in broadening access to health and education opportunities. Safe environment also means not being exposed to health risks created through environmental degradation such as air and water pollution"(Warth and Koparanova, 2012). To support economic development labour human well-being, construct excellent, reliable, sustainable, and resilient infrastructure, including regional and trans-border infrastructure, with an emphasis on affordable and equitable access for all. That's why the Indian government has started new programmes as Make in India and Start well as Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Shramev Jayate Karyakram to increase innovation and sustainable industrial and economic development for all including women (https:// in.one.un.org/page/sustainable-development-goals/sdg- 9/). Espinosa said she is very much looking forward to engaging and working together with India under her presidency of the 193-member UN General Assembly. Furthermore, "India is indeed a very important player of the multilateral system. It is a friendly country to the United Nations. If India succeeds in the achievement of the 2030 Agenda - we are talking about 1.3 billion people - this really can change the face of the world," she told here.

Equality in opportunities and rights and the precondition of equality is to be given to the women so that they can work in a positive environment and can prove themselves. "By providing the same opportunities to women and men, including in decision-making in all kinds of activities, a sustainable path of development can be achieved to ensure that women's and men's interests are both taken into account in the allocation of resources" (Lohani, 2017). According to the United Nations Development Programme- "Income inequality has increased in nearly everywhere in recent decades, but at different speeds. It's lowest in Europe and highest in the Middle East. In 2016, 22 percent of global income was received by the top 1 percent compared with 10 percent of income for the bottom 50 percent. These widening disparities require sound policies to empower lower-income earners, and promote economic inclusion of all- regardless of sex, race or ethnicity". (https://www1.undp.org/content/oslo-governance-centre /en/home/sustainable-development-goals/goal-10-reduc ed-inequalities.html) . It is seen that inequality is there among the countries but within the countries, women are more vulnerable than men. "In 2017, the richest 1% of the world's population held 50.1% of the world's wealth, while the poorest 70% of the world's working-age population people together hold only 2.7% of the global wealth. a total of 36 million millionaires, who account for 0.7% of the world's adult population – control 46% of total global wealth". By 2030, the UN has set a goal to empower and promote social, economic, and political inclusion of all people, regardless of their age, gender, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion, or economic or another status, by ensuring equal opportunity and reducing inequalities of outcome, including by eliminating discriminatory laws, policies, and practices and promoting appropriate legislation, policies, and practices. Adopt policies, particularly budgetary, wage, and social protection programmes, to gradually attain greater equality. (https://www.un.org/development/desa/disabilities/envisi on 2030-goal10.html) 11) Sustainable Cities and Communities and Women: According to UN Women, the target of providing access to safe, affordable, accessible, and sustainable transport systems for all, improving road safety with a special arrangement of safeguards for women, children, disabled, and senior citizens will be considered to fulfilled by 2030. Also providing universal access to safe, inclusive, and technical assistance to strengthen them. "By 2030, a historic 60 percent of people worldwide will likely to live in cities. For women and girls, urban residency can open doors to more income, better work, and increased independence. Yet many, particularly lower-income women, are far from experiencing their equal rights to all the benefits and opportunities that urban areas can offer". (https://www. unwomen.org/en/news/in-focus/women-and-the-SDGs/ sdg-11-sustainable-cities- communities) Urban settings, public transport, medical facilities at the time of childbirth, clean water, and sanitization are not adequate for women especially in urban slums which is the major concern for sustainable development goals. India is increasingly urbanizing. The country's urban population expanded by 91 million people between 2001 and 2011. Between 2018 and 2050, India is expected to gain 416 million urban residents. India is anticipated to have seven megacities with populations of more than 10 million people by 2030. Rural areas account for 68 percent of the country's total population, while slums account for 17 percent of the urban population. The Smart Cities Mission, the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission, and the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) are all trying to improve urban spaces in India.
