- Abstract
ASEAN has been vocal with its support for gender equality and women's empowerment; they have formed committees and regional mechanisms that will guide them in achieving this. They also spearheaded various meetings with its member states and established partnerships with other organizations outside ASEAN to further enhance their response to gender and development. Their aim is to promote gender and development with their three pillars to create a gender-sensitive society. Based on the data gathered, the women's sector and LGBTQI+ community in selected ASEAN member states is still struggling with gender equity. There have been developments, but hardships are still visible in their work and in society; they still lack opportunities to grow in fields that are dominated by men; they are still suffering from unequal treatment; and some are still not represented in politics.
