This paper examines gender inequality through a social justice lens, analyzing structural, cultural, and institutional factors that perpetuate gender-based disparities across multiple domains. Using an interdisciplinary approach that draws on feminist theory, sociology, economics, and human rights frameworks, we investigate how gender inequality manifests in economic participation, political representation, education, healthcare access, and interpersonal relations. The research synthesizes empirical evidence from global contexts to identify effective intervention strategies at policy, institutional, and community levels. Our findings indicate that comprehensive approaches addressing both formal and informal dimensions of gender inequality show the greatest promise for advancing gender justice. This paper contributes to the literature by proposing an integrated social justice framework for addressing gender inequality that emphasizes intersectionality, structural change, and transformative approaches to gender relations.
