Global Issues:
Gender Equality &
Women's Empowerment
In the world, women have fewer chances to
participate in economic life than men. They also
have less access to high-quality and basic
education higher danger to their health and safety
as well as less representation in the political arena.
The protection of women's rights and providing
them with the opportunity to realize maximum
potential are crucial not just for achieving the goal
of gender equality but in fulfilling a range of
objectives for international development. Women
and girls who are empowered are major
contributors to the well-being as well as the
productivity of communities, families, and nations,
creating an impact that benefits all.
The term "gender" refers to the roles and responsibilities that are socially constructed that society believes are
appropriate for both genders. Gender equality implies that women and men have equal rights and chances to
achieve financial independence in education, as well as personal growth. (Source) Women's empowerment and
development can be an essential element of attaining equality in gender. It is about enhancing women's self-
esteem and their power to make decisions as well as their access to resources and opportunities in addition to
their power and control over their personal life within and outside of the home, and the ability to bring about
changes. However, gender-related concerns aren't just about women only, but rather the interplay between
women and men within the community. The behaviour and attitudes of boys and men contribute to attaining
gender equality.
Education is an aspect of the agenda. While the world
is progressing towards gender equality in the field of
education, girls have a greater share of children who
are not in school than boys. About one-quarter of
girls in developing countries don't attend school. In
general, families with little money who are unable to
pay for expenses like costs for uniforms and school
expenses or equipment for all their children will put
education first for their boys. Families might also
depend on the girls' work for household chores,
water transport and taking care of the children,
leaving little time to attend school. However,
prioritizing education for girls could be the most
effective ROI across the world's developing regions.
A girl who is educated is more likely to delay
marriage, build children in a smaller household and
have healthier children and even send her children to
schools. There are more chances to earn a living and
be a part of the political process and will be less likely
to get sick with HIV.
The safety and health of women are different areas of concern. HIV/AIDS
is now an increasingly significant problem for women. (Source) This could
be due to women being denied opportunities to access health education,
unequal power of sexual partnerships or as a result of violence based on
gender. The health of mothers is another matter of particular concern.
Many countries have mothers who are not able to access medical and
prenatal care which means they are at a higher risk to suffer problems
during pregnancy and birth. This is an issue in the countries where girls
get married and birth children prior to when they're ready, usually before
the age of 18. Good maternal health care is an essential source of
knowledge and support services to allow mothers to take informed
decisions regarding their health and the health of their children.
