what are the issues of gender
inequality?
Uneven access to education

Around the world, women still have less education than men. Of all the
illiterate people in the world, ⅔ are women. When girls are not educated on
the same level as boys, it has a huge effect on their future and the kinds of
opportunities they will get.

Lack of employment equality

Only six countries in the world give women the same legal work rights as men.
Studies show that if employment became a more even playing field, it has a
positive domino effect on other areas prone to gender inequality.

Gender equality is treating men and women equally
regardless of their gender for example, that women and men
should be paid equally for doing the same work

Unequal Pay Between Men & Women

Globally, the gender pay gap stands at 16%, meaning women

workers only earn an average of 84% of what men earn.
In addition, worldwide women only make 77 cents for every dollar
earned by men.
They are believed physically inferior to men thus believed to do
less work, so they are paid less.

Who made Gender equality?
Gender equality was made part of international human rights law by the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights, which was adopted by the United Nations general assembly on 10 December
1948.

How can we end Gender equality?

1. Ending discrimination in law and practice.
2. Envisioning a sustainable economy with gender equality at its core.
3. Eradicating poverty through gender-responsive social protection and public service.
4. Closing the leadership gap and unleashing the power of women's collective action.

Gender equality in education
Girls are still more likely than boys to never set foot in a classroom,
despite the tremendous progress made over the past 20 years.

129 million girls are out of school around the world, with 32 million in
primary school, 30 million in lower secondary school, and 67 million in
upper secondary school. Girls in conflict-affected countries are more
than twice as likely to drop out than girls in non-affected countries.

There are numerous reasons for this. Barriers to girls' education vary
by country and community, including poverty, child marriage, and
gender-based violence. When it comes to education, poor families
frequently favour boys.

 Why is gender equality important? -caitlin

Sustainable development relies on ending discrimination towards women

and providing equal access to education and opportunities for

employment. Gender equality has been conclusively shown to stimulate

economic growth, which is important, especially in countries with higher

unemployment rates and less economic opportunity.

UN Women reported that in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) member

countries, half of the economic growth over the past 50 years is attributed to girls having better access to

education.

The decrease in the gap between the number of years of schooling that girls receive when compared to boys

also played a role.

Because of this, GVI has established projects that put an emphasis on education for girl children as part of our

long-term sustainable development goals.

In the developing world, around a quarter of
females do not attend school. Typically,
low-income families prefer schooling for their
men since they cannot afford school fees,
uniforms, or supplies for all of their children.
Women's economic and political empowerment
is a last focus in achieving gender equality.
Despite the fact that women make up more
than half of the world's population, they only
hold 1% of the world's wealth.
