The new global 2030 roadmap and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), approved by UN Member States on 25 September 2015 have been reviewed. Analysis of the proposed goals and targets, collectively and individually, show that they are equipped with evidences, and address the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development in an integrated way but they could be more specific in terms of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) and the role of Women to be effectively implemented and monitored. It is seen that there still exist the “Missing links – gender equity in science and technology for development”. It is felt that some socio-technical issues regarding women and science may be included. It is suggested that Women Particularly Women scientists are to be involved in Sustainable development, both at the global, regional and country level. The participation and creativity of man & women as well as the new advances in scientific knowledge, discoveries and innovations are required for long term sustainable development. For mainstreaming women in SDG Agenda: the “gender lens approach “may be adopted at each stage of the SDG target. Concrete recommendations are put forward for consideration in refining the goals and targets or in planning for their implementation.
