Gender equality is the view that everyone should receive equal treatment and opportunities regardless of gender. Historically, concepts like "machismo" promoted the idea that men are superior to women and responsible for providing for their families, which led to the devaluation of women's abilities and denial of equal opportunities like education and work. These attitudes contributed to major family violence problems as some men felt they had rights over their wives and could impose their will through physical and psychological abuse. It is important to move past these harmful, outdated views through respectful dialogue that promotes human dignity and equality for all.
