The subject of empowerment of women has been much discussed in recent times and raises questions about development and freedom, primordial elements for the emancipation of individuals, aimed at expanding their capabilities. The present work reflects on Objective number 5, ODS nº 5, of Agenda 2030 of the United Nations Organization, emphasizing its importance for the development of women and, therefore, for their empowerment. For the discussion of the topics contained in ODS 5, she supported Amartya Sen, among others, based on her reflection on freedom, and another ONU document on the principles of women's empowerment. The conclusions point to the need for public policies and programs that must go beyond the areas of health, education and guarantee of better living conditions, since it is necessary to promote policies for equality of power and occupation of political spaces.
