Gender equality

Babenco Vitalie
What is the 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
equality is more than just equal representation, it is
strongly tied to women's rights, and often requires
policy changes.
Example of women who fought for the right to vote
Women gained the right to vote in 1920 with the
passage of the 19th Amendment.

Perhaps the most well-known women’s rights


activist in history, Susan B. Anthony was born
on February 15, 1820, to a Quaker family in
Massachusetts. Anthony was raised to be
independent and outspoken: Her parents, like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady
many Quakers, believed that men and women Stanton, pioneers of the Women's
Rights Movement, 1891.
should study, live and work as equals and
should commit themselves equally to the
eradication of cruelty and injustice in the
world.

Alice Paul was the leader of the


most militant wing of the
woman suffrage movement.
Born in 1885 to a wealthy
Quaker family in New Jersey,
Paul was well-educated she
earned an undergraduate Alice Paul, 1885-1977
degree in biology from

Swarthmore College and a PhD


in sociology from the University
of Pennsylvania and was
determined to win the vote by
any means necessary.
