Abstract

Gender justice is a fundamental human right and a prerequisite for economic and social development in a society. Good governance, through gender justice and women's participation, can lead to sustainable development. Achieving gender justice and good governance requires comprehensive policies and legal frameworks, as well as active participation from all stakeholders, including women. Empowering women for their active participation in governance and achieving gender justice is crucial. The aim of this research is to design a model of good governance in Iran with a focus on employed women and gender justice. This research is applied in terms of purpose, exploratory in nature, and falls under the category of qualitative studies. The statistical population consists of 17 experts and professors in public administration and law, selected through snowball and purposive sampling methods. The data collection tool was semi-structured interviews, and data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis. Reliability was examined using the method of agreement between two coders. The research results were categorized into 27 basic themes, 8 organized themes, and 1 overarching theme. The results indicate that focusing on women and gender justice in governance not only plays a significant role in achieving social justice but also serves as a tool to improve the quality of governance and the comprehensive development of the country.
