What Is Gender Equality?
Gender equality, also known as sex equality, gender egalitarianism, sexual equality or equality of the genders, is the view that men and women should receive equal treatment and should not be discriminated against based on gender.
Women Empowerment
Women and girls face barriers and disadvantages in every sector in which we work. Globally, 1 in 3 women will experience gender-based violence in her lifetime. Women’s participation in politics results in tangible gains for democracy, including greater responsiveness to citizen needs, and increased cooperation across party and ethnic lines.
