Gender Equality

What is Gender
and Equality?
Gender
- is defined as the socially constructed
roles and behaviors that a society
typically associates with males and
females.
Equality
- The state of being equal, especially in
status, rights, and opportunities.
Equality
- is defined as the condition of being
equal, or the same in quality, measure,
esteem or value. When men and women
are both viewed as being just as smart
and capable as each other, this is an
example of equality of the sexes.
What is Gender
Equality?
Gender Equality
- is when people of all genders have
equal rights, responsibilities and
opportunities
- Also known as, sexual equality or
equality of the sexes is the state of
equal ease of access to resources and
opportunities regardless of gender,
including economic participation and
decision-making; and the state of
valuing different behaviors, aspirations
and needs equally, regardless of gender.
- According to UNICEF, gender equality
"means that women and men, and girls
and boys, enjoy the same rights,
resources, opportunities and
protections. It does not require that
girls and boys, or women and men, be
the same, or that they be treated
exactly alike.
Clear examples of problems in
gender equality are seen in the
following situations:

- Men may often have better


opportunities, freedom and social favor
compared to women.
- Most of the positions, socially and
politically were being occupied mostly
by men.

- Men may have more weight in


marriages or other direct or indirect
relationships.
Gender Equality,
why we need it?
- We need gender equality urgently.
Gender equality prevents violence
against women and girls. It is essential
for economic prosperity. Societies that
value women and men as equal are
safer and healthier. Gender equality is a
human right. Everyone benefits from
gender equality.
