Gender equality is when people of all

genders have equal rights,

responsibilities and

opportunities. Everyone is affected by

gender inequality - women, men, trans

and gender diverse people, children and

families. It impacts people of all ages

and backgrounds.


We need gender equality urgently.

Gender equality prevents violence

against women and girls. It’s essential

for economic prosperity. Societies that

value women and men as equal are safer

and healthier. Gender equality is a

human right. Everyone benefits from

gender equality.

Welcome message from author
Women and girls represent half of the world’s population and, therefore, also half of its potential. Gender equality, besides being a fundamental human right, is essential to achieve peaceful societies, with full human potential and sustainable development. Moreover, it has been shown that empowering women spurs productivity and economic growth.
