GENDER EQUALITY
• 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.
• UNICEF says 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.“.
• Well talking about our evolving world, Gender equality isn’t
about males and females but, it also includes transgender
(gays and lesbians).
CAUSES OF GENDER EQUILITY
Patriarchy (Social Order)
Illiteracy
Socio-cultures
Religious influence
Lack of affordable care for children or family
members
