WHAT IS GENDER EQUALITY ??
Gender equality, also known as sexual equality or equality of the sexes, is the state of equal ease
of access to resources and opportunities regardless of gender, including economic participation and
decision-making; and the state of valuing different behaviors, aspirations and needs equally,
regardless of gender.
Gender equality is the goal, while gender neutrality and gender equity are practices and ways of
thinking that help in achieving the goal.
Gender parity, which is used to measure gender balance in a given situation, can aid in achieving
gender equality but is not the goal in and of itself. Gender equality is more than equal
representation, it is strongly tied to women's rights, and often requires policy changes.
As of 2017, the global movement for gender equality has not incorporated the proposition of
genders besides women and men, or gender identities outside of the gender binary.
IS IT A HUMAN RIGHT ??
UNICEF says gender equality "means that women and men, and girls and boys, enjoy the same rights,
resources, opportunities and protections. It does not require that girls and boys, or women and men, be the
same, or that they be treated exactly alike.“
On a global scale, achieving gender equality also requires eliminating harmful practices against women and girls,
including sex trafficking, femicide, wartime sexual violence, and other oppression tactics.
UNFPA stated that, "despite many international agreements affirming their human rights, women are still much
more likely than men to be poor and illiterate. They have less access to property ownership, credit, training and
employment. They are far less likely than men to be politically active and far more likely to be victims of domestic
violence.
As of 2017, gender equality is the fifth of seventeen sustainable development goals of the United Nations.
Gender inequality is measured annually by the United Nations Development Programme's Human Development
Reports.
What corporates are doing towards
gender equality ??
Companies reporting on gender equality was for many years confined to the reporting of policies, along with some
program information. Increasingly, there are CSR initiatives that promote gender impact reporting so that companies
will improve their understanding of gender in their business and put in place more effective systems to strengthen
their business benefits. These initiatives also seek to improve company transparency with regard to gender impacts,
enabling stakeholders to better engage with corporates on these issues.
Reporting offers a means to improve monitoring and evaluation efforts, identify opportunities for continuous
improvement, and directly access some of these business benefits. For example, gender impact reporting can
a). Aid companies in recruiting, retaining, and motivating female employees, thus optimizing human resource management.
b). Strengthen a company’s reputation as a “women-friendly” enterprise and thereby attract consumers and investors that
are driven by ethical interests.
c). Improve brand-differentiation by targeting women customers or groups concerned with women’s interests.
d). Reduce the risk of negative publicity and reputation damage.
Three main drivers motivate firms towards addressing, and reporting on, gender equality:
a). The Market – including consumers, investors, business customers, and labor market pressures
b). Governments – including regulatory requirements and compliance with equal rights legislation and supplier
diversity requirements for government contracts
c). Civil Society – including those that look to maximize shared benefits to the corporation and community
stakeholders, as well as media pressure.
A broader understanding of gender and CSR extends to other business dimensions and impacts to consider, such as
1). Gender impacts of products and services
2). Innovative approaches to product development using gender information
3). Gender issues in supply chain labor practices
4). Gender issues as part of company community and human rights impacts
5). Community development and philanthropy efforts that build on input from women and respond to gender-
specific needs in the community
Challenges while implementing gender equality as a
human right
The Council of Europe has just published the 2016 annual report on the implementation of its 2014-2017 Gender
Equality Strategy by its member states which looks at how existing challenges to women’s rights are being
addressed.
Among the challenges identified in the report is the critical vulnerability of refugee women, increasing sexist hate
speech and other forms of violence against women, attacks to women’s reproductive health and rights, reduced
resources allocated to gender equality due to budgetary cuts and austerity measures, barriers preventing
women from disadvantaged groups to benefit from gender equality policies and standards, shortcomings to
achieving women’s balanced participation in political and public decision-making, and the spread of
misconceptions about gender equality through the label of “gender ideology”.
All these challenges result in a continuous gap between gender equality standards and their implementation. They call
for a change of mind-sets in European citizens and decision-makers,”.
Steps to create awareness gender equality is a
human right
1). Talk to women and girls
A fundamental reason we have not yet achieved gender equality in every realm is that women and girls’ voices
are too often excluded from global and national decision-making. When programmes and policies are designed
without women’s needs central to their foundation, we’re setting ourselves up to fail.
2). Let girls use mobile phones
The majority of girls in India don’t have access to using basic technology such as phones and computers
because of infrastructure related challenges and economic reasons. Increasingly we see bans on girls using
mobile phones. The dialogue on girls’ access to Stem [science, technology, engineering and maths] education
and women’s role in technology has not even started to be acknowledged.
3). Stop child marriage and sexual harassment
In Bangladesh and elsewhere, child marriage is a major impediment to girls’ education. In Bangladesh more
than 50% of girls are married before the age of 18, and about 30% of girls 15 to 19 already have one child. If
we want girls to be able to complete education we have to end child marriage. We also have to seriously
address sexual harassment of girls. Insecurity is one of the reasons parents give for marrying their daughters.
It is also a major barrier to girls’ full participation in education.
4). Make education gender sensitive
There has been much progress in increasing access to education, but progress has been slow in improving the
gender sensitivity of the education system, including ensuring textbooks promote positive stereotypes. This is
critically important for girls to come out of schools as citizens who can shape a more equal society. In some
countries, there is a tendency to assume that things are fine as long as there are equal number of girls in
schools.
5). Raise aspirations of girls and their parents
One of the key strategies must be to change how girls, families and society imagine what girls can be and can
do. We need to give girls images and role models that expand their dreams. I was at an International Women’s
Day event with Bangladesh Women in Technology and they talked about needing to build girls’ and women’s
confidence that they could be engineers or entrepreneurs. We also need parents to see that there really are
opportunities for their daughters, that their only security is not just to be good wives and mothers.
6). Give proper value to ‘women’s work’
The unpaid work women and girls do provide the foundation for the global economy. This fact needs to be
highlighted more in the media, with the private sector and in communities. More research and data for
messaging on this point could be useful in promoting the key role and contributions women and girls make to
the economy and the need for proper recognition and compensation. We also need a concerted campaign for
equal pay for equal work worldwide. Legislation, economic incentives, and pledges like the UN’s Women’s
Empowerment Principles should be adapted and replicated everywhere.
7). Get women into power
A proven way to overcome many systemic barriers to a woman’s success has been increased participation by
women in local, regional and national legislation as empowered change agents. In just 10 years, the number of
women holding seats in houses of national parliament in south Asia rose from 7% to 18%. But a global goal of
equal representation is still a long way off, with only one woman for every four men in parliamentary houses. A
woman’s voice and her ability to become a leader in her community is fundamental to empowering women.
8). Work together
Alarmingly, gender gaps in sub-Saharan Africa have widened at higher levels of schooling. This is a reverse of
the global trend towards greater parity. Between 1999 and 2010, the ratio of girls in secondary school fell from
83 to 82 girls for every 100 boys at the secondary level and from 67 to 63 girls for every 100 boys at the tertiary
level. This is stalled progress and a reversion to the deep gender equalities that characterized previous eras. To
address this gap, our efforts cannot be done in silos, but must involve the people (girls in this case). Girls know
best what their challenges are in education and it is imperative to involve them in our discussions to address
the gap.
Thank you !!

Gender equality is a human right

  • 1. GENDER EQUALITY IS A HUMAN RIGHT
  • 2. “GENDER EQUALITY IS A HUMAN RIGHT” SUBMITTED BY - SUBMITTEDTO - 1). ROHIT (41) DR. PRIYANKA AGARWAL 2). RISHABH RAJORA (42) (FACULTY OF CONFLICT RESOLUTION & MANAGEMENT) 3). NITIN KUMAR (43) 4). AJAY VEER (53) MBA (FINANCE) SECTION-A BATCH: 2019 - 2021
  • 3. WHAT IS GENDER EQUALITY ?? Gender equality, also known as sexual equality or equality of the sexes, is the state of equal ease of access to resources and opportunities regardless of gender, including economic participation and decision-making; and the state of valuing different behaviors, aspirations and needs equally, regardless of gender. Gender equality is the goal, while gender neutrality and gender equity are practices and ways of thinking that help in achieving the goal. Gender parity, which is used to measure gender balance in a given situation, can aid in achieving gender equality but is not the goal in and of itself. Gender equality is more than equal representation, it is strongly tied to women's rights, and often requires policy changes. As of 2017, the global movement for gender equality has not incorporated the proposition of genders besides women and men, or gender identities outside of the gender binary.
  • 4. IS IT A HUMAN RIGHT ?? UNICEF says gender equality "means that women and men, and girls and boys, enjoy the same rights, resources, opportunities and protections. It does not require that girls and boys, or women and men, be the same, or that they be treated exactly alike.“ On a global scale, achieving gender equality also requires eliminating harmful practices against women and girls, including sex trafficking, femicide, wartime sexual violence, and other oppression tactics. UNFPA stated that, "despite many international agreements affirming their human rights, women are still much more likely than men to be poor and illiterate. They have less access to property ownership, credit, training and employment. They are far less likely than men to be politically active and far more likely to be victims of domestic violence. As of 2017, gender equality is the fifth of seventeen sustainable development goals of the United Nations. Gender inequality is measured annually by the United Nations Development Programme's Human Development Reports.
  • 5. What corporates are doing towards gender equality ?? Companies reporting on gender equality was for many years confined to the reporting of policies, along with some program information. Increasingly, there are CSR initiatives that promote gender impact reporting so that companies will improve their understanding of gender in their business and put in place more effective systems to strengthen their business benefits. These initiatives also seek to improve company transparency with regard to gender impacts, enabling stakeholders to better engage with corporates on these issues. Reporting offers a means to improve monitoring and evaluation efforts, identify opportunities for continuous improvement, and directly access some of these business benefits. For example, gender impact reporting can a). Aid companies in recruiting, retaining, and motivating female employees, thus optimizing human resource management. b). Strengthen a company’s reputation as a “women-friendly” enterprise and thereby attract consumers and investors that are driven by ethical interests. c). Improve brand-differentiation by targeting women customers or groups concerned with women’s interests. d). Reduce the risk of negative publicity and reputation damage.
  • 6. Three main drivers motivate firms towards addressing, and reporting on, gender equality: a). The Market – including consumers, investors, business customers, and labor market pressures b). Governments – including regulatory requirements and compliance with equal rights legislation and supplier diversity requirements for government contracts c). Civil Society – including those that look to maximize shared benefits to the corporation and community stakeholders, as well as media pressure. A broader understanding of gender and CSR extends to other business dimensions and impacts to consider, such as 1). Gender impacts of products and services 2). Innovative approaches to product development using gender information 3). Gender issues in supply chain labor practices 4). Gender issues as part of company community and human rights impacts 5). Community development and philanthropy efforts that build on input from women and respond to gender- specific needs in the community
  • 7. Challenges while implementing gender equality as a human right The Council of Europe has just published the 2016 annual report on the implementation of its 2014-2017 Gender Equality Strategy by its member states which looks at how existing challenges to women’s rights are being addressed. Among the challenges identified in the report is the critical vulnerability of refugee women, increasing sexist hate speech and other forms of violence against women, attacks to women’s reproductive health and rights, reduced resources allocated to gender equality due to budgetary cuts and austerity measures, barriers preventing women from disadvantaged groups to benefit from gender equality policies and standards, shortcomings to achieving women’s balanced participation in political and public decision-making, and the spread of misconceptions about gender equality through the label of “gender ideology”. All these challenges result in a continuous gap between gender equality standards and their implementation. They call for a change of mind-sets in European citizens and decision-makers,”.
  • 8. Steps to create awareness gender equality is a human right 1). Talk to women and girls A fundamental reason we have not yet achieved gender equality in every realm is that women and girls’ voices are too often excluded from global and national decision-making. When programmes and policies are designed without women’s needs central to their foundation, we’re setting ourselves up to fail. 2). Let girls use mobile phones The majority of girls in India don’t have access to using basic technology such as phones and computers because of infrastructure related challenges and economic reasons. Increasingly we see bans on girls using mobile phones. The dialogue on girls’ access to Stem [science, technology, engineering and maths] education and women’s role in technology has not even started to be acknowledged.
  • 9. 3). Stop child marriage and sexual harassment In Bangladesh and elsewhere, child marriage is a major impediment to girls’ education. In Bangladesh more than 50% of girls are married before the age of 18, and about 30% of girls 15 to 19 already have one child. If we want girls to be able to complete education we have to end child marriage. We also have to seriously address sexual harassment of girls. Insecurity is one of the reasons parents give for marrying their daughters. It is also a major barrier to girls’ full participation in education. 4). Make education gender sensitive There has been much progress in increasing access to education, but progress has been slow in improving the gender sensitivity of the education system, including ensuring textbooks promote positive stereotypes. This is critically important for girls to come out of schools as citizens who can shape a more equal society. In some countries, there is a tendency to assume that things are fine as long as there are equal number of girls in schools.
  • 10. 5). Raise aspirations of girls and their parents One of the key strategies must be to change how girls, families and society imagine what girls can be and can do. We need to give girls images and role models that expand their dreams. I was at an International Women’s Day event with Bangladesh Women in Technology and they talked about needing to build girls’ and women’s confidence that they could be engineers or entrepreneurs. We also need parents to see that there really are opportunities for their daughters, that their only security is not just to be good wives and mothers. 6). Give proper value to ‘women’s work’ The unpaid work women and girls do provide the foundation for the global economy. This fact needs to be highlighted more in the media, with the private sector and in communities. More research and data for messaging on this point could be useful in promoting the key role and contributions women and girls make to the economy and the need for proper recognition and compensation. We also need a concerted campaign for equal pay for equal work worldwide. Legislation, economic incentives, and pledges like the UN’s Women’s Empowerment Principles should be adapted and replicated everywhere.
  • 11. 7). Get women into power A proven way to overcome many systemic barriers to a woman’s success has been increased participation by women in local, regional and national legislation as empowered change agents. In just 10 years, the number of women holding seats in houses of national parliament in south Asia rose from 7% to 18%. But a global goal of equal representation is still a long way off, with only one woman for every four men in parliamentary houses. A woman’s voice and her ability to become a leader in her community is fundamental to empowering women. 8). Work together Alarmingly, gender gaps in sub-Saharan Africa have widened at higher levels of schooling. This is a reverse of the global trend towards greater parity. Between 1999 and 2010, the ratio of girls in secondary school fell from 83 to 82 girls for every 100 boys at the secondary level and from 67 to 63 girls for every 100 boys at the tertiary level. This is stalled progress and a reversion to the deep gender equalities that characterized previous eras. To address this gap, our efforts cannot be done in silos, but must involve the people (girls in this case). Girls know best what their challenges are in education and it is imperative to involve them in our discussions to address the gap.
