| dc.description.abstract | Background and objective: This study aims to identify the connections between social interventions (SI), Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5) 2030 Agenda, and the bioethical paradigm, using research involving women dealing with waste in Ghana, Africa, as a background. In its SDG 5 – gender equality – the 2030 Agenda makes it possible to reflect on the connections between bioethics, gender equality (GE), and vulnerable populations. SI, in turn, reflects on the social context and the factors that guide the implementation of projects and their impacts on society, the mobilization of resources, and the generation of sustainable attitudes. These combined aspects value human interactions and focus on individuals. The design of the connections between SI, SDG 5, and bioethics is presented in this chapter to encourage and develop intervention measures focusing on the well-being, quality of life, equality, and inclusion of the women surveyed. Methodology: Exploratory-descriptive study with a quantitative-qualitative approach. Sample: women waste handlers (WWH) from Ghana, Africa, random sampling, non-probabilistic for convenience, CI = 95%, n = 33 respondents. Findings and conclusions: This research suggests the need to implement a social development program aimed at WWH, in line with the SI and the 2030 Agenda. The promotion of well-being, quality of life, inclusion, and equality of women are principles that are associated with the bioethical paradigm, SDG 5, and SI. The possible practical implications of this research include the formulation of a social program in line with public policies and public-private partnerships, aimed at making morally justified decisions to assess gender equity and equality of women vulnerable to risky work; development of an integrated approach between SI, SDG 5, and the bioethical paradigm in vulnerable populations, namely, in the studied population, promoting investigations and actions informed by evidence, having as a background the theme of GE; recognition of the bioethical paradigm, SDG 5, and SI as an investment and as a necessary resource to strengthen the role of women and men and to encourage and disseminate the use of gender indicators as a positive element to contribute to the formulation of interventions in populations vulnerable; formulation and implementation of the Women’s Development Program aimed at actions in public health, education, and income generation, with a focus on socially sustainable interventions. | pt_PT |
