This proposed PhD. project delves into the multifaceted relationship between geography and gender inequality, aiming to unravel the spatial dimensions that contribute to and perpetuate disparities between genders. Here, gender inequality is defined as unequal distribution of resources, opportunities, and power between men and women. The gender inequality is a pervasive global issue with nuanced manifestations across diverse geographical contexts. The primary objectives of this Ph.D. project are to map and analyze spatial patterns of gender inequality, investigate the underlying socio-economic and cultural factors that drive these patterns, and propose targeted interventions to address disparities at the regional and local levels.
