The term gender inequality refers to the unequal treatment or perception of someone based on their perceived gender. Gender equality is the continued movement to push for all people to be treated fairly and equally, specifically with regards to gender.
Women and men alike have worked tirelessly for centuries to fight for equal rights for women around the world. Despite women’s incredible gains over the past 50 years in education and in the workplace, there is still a long way to go to achieve equality. Around the world, from politics and for-profit corporations to universities, religious institutions, non-profits, and the judicial courts, women continue to be underrepresented.
It is important to speak out about gender equality because no one is less capable because of their gender. By contributing to this important issue, you can help spread the word that girls and women are strong, capable, and will not be treated unfairly.
