Gender equality aims to give women equal opportunities and rights as men in all areas of society. It seeks to eliminate discrimination and harmful practices against women. Key goals include equality in pay, professional opportunities, education access, and the equal distribution of unpaid domestic work. Progress is measured using a gender index that evaluates differences between women and men across various indicators. While some countries and organizations have taken steps to promote gender equality, such as requiring women on corporate boards, full equality has yet to be achieved due to lingering misogyny and lack of compulsory protections in laws. Individual actions like supporting women and demonstrating for stronger regulations can help work toward gender equality.

7. How do you measure equality and in which unit of
measurement?
o The gender index measures the average gender difference in 19
individual indicators in the areas of education, professional life and
participation in a single number
o To measure equality, it is not enough to identify statistically
ascertainable differences between women and men. Rather, a
conceptual framework is necessary as a starting point, which
defines which understanding of gender equality is to be based and
what equality should therefore be measured in this sense
o It is determined by the European Institute for Gender Equality
(EIGE), an agency of the European Union
o The index is given as a value between 1 and 100, where 100 stands
for the ideal situation in a gender-equitable society
