The present study explores the programs, initiatives, practices and the status of women empowerment in the perspective of SDGs 2030. The present study uses both primary and secondary data to dig down the reality. Research design of the study was descriptive and survey in nature. Data was collected through semi structured interviews from the policy makers, community leaders and Government stake holders. Study unfolds the rhetoric that programs and initiatives launched for empowering women were not aptly executed for rural marginalized areas of the Punjab, Pakistan. Findings of the study revealed that due to lack of proper dissemination of these programs, lack of bottom up strategies, low allocation of budgets for rural areas, lack of political will and commitment gap at the top up level to empower women in rural areas was the reason of erratic execution of educational initiatives programs and policies. This study recommends that women empowerment programs, initiatives and policies should be equity based considering the gender parity, and integration of gender mainstreaming is required in the national development policies for empowering women
