Firstly, one will be discussing about the Women in Development (WID) and WAD, and how they are working diligently to improve women's roles in development and society at large.

Women in Development (WID)

This non-governmental organization strives to include women in all aspects of development, both in practice and in theory. It aims to recognize women's contributions to development and how they have been disregarded and marginalized in development research and practices. WID also wants to see women's long-held submissive position within patriarchy acknowledged and corrected.as well as the designation of "reproductive agents" that they have received. This is partly due to their efforts to support women's economic and career advancement. WID uses the egalitarian philosophy of equal genders, equal gender rights, and equal gender opportunities to emphasize women's place and importance in development and the developmental process.

The WAD Development

The woman and development approach are based on the belief that women's positions will improve only if they are treated equally. It concentrated on the social interactions between men and women, with women always playing productive and reproductive responsibilities in their cultures.
