Its aim is to create a legal and social environment for gender equality, such as democratic activities and ensuring equal pay for work of equal value. In practice, gender equality aims at equal treatment of the sexes in the life of society as a whole, and not only in politics, work or other policy-defined areas
What adverse impact the nation is currently dealing with?
A gender stereotype is a common belief or preconceived notion that women and men should have certain traits or characteristics, or should play certain roles. Gender stereotypes limit the ability to achieve personal development, pursue professional careers and make choices about one's own life
Social and cultural patterns of behaviour of men and women, gender-based notions of superiority and inferiority, prejudices, customs and all other practices based on stereotyped tasks for men and women perpetuate inequalities
Women in many countries have difficulty obtaining the same rights to economic resources as men, including ownership and control over land and other forms of affairs, inheritance and natural resources
Women have a lower employment rate globally than men, and women are still often forced to accept low-paid jobs
In some places, women have fewer educational opportunities than men
How to do to rectify the adverse situation?
Respect and appreciate each person for their uniqueness rather than judging them based on their gender
Equal opportunities should be provided in both education and the workplace, without bias based on gender
The culture respects and appreciates the contributions of all people, not just one gender
Participate in gender equality activities and disseminate gender equality information on social media
Respecte everyone's career choices and support women to enter traditionally "male fields"
Educate yourself and others about the importance of gender equality
