This document discusses gender equality and equity. It defines gender equality according to UNICEF as equal rights, resources, opportunities and protections for women and men, girls and boys. Gender equality is the 5th of the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The document contrasts equality, which treats everyone the same, with equity, which distributes rights and resources based on needs to level the playing field for success. Fair opportunity practices and equality of opportunity in the workplace can lead to equality at work, satisfaction, dignity, and motivation. The document argues that gender inclusion is crucial for organizations, helping with retention, maximizing human capital, and embedding inclusiveness into the culture for global growth.
