1- Introduction

Gender equality refers to “the equal rights,

responsibilities and opportunities of women and
men, and girls and boys”. Therefore, we should
never allow the sex with which we were born to
determine the freedom, rights or resources that
we may have throughout our lives.

2- Employment opportunities

We constantly face gender inequality in such things

as jobs or careers. Men’s and women’s jobs differ
greatly as womens are often seen in low-productivity
and low-paying jobs, not to mention that they seldom
possess high power positions. In our society,
women normally have fewer job opportunities
since many companies prefer to hire men as society
still believes the common fallacy of men having a
more abundant knowledge, nowadays we are
making a change as we accept that the amount of
knowledge is not based on our gender but rather
on our education. What we aim to achieve by
implementing gender equality in job opportunities is
for men and women having the same access to equivalent
working positions
3- Salaries

We can all wrap up that the main difference between

women and men in the workplace would be the salaries,
women tend to have lower salaries whereas men tend
to have a higher one, this is a straightforward illustration
of what gender inequality looks like in today's society.
Currently, we are trying to accomplish for women an
men to earn the same amount of money and as time
goes by, we are fulfilling these objective.

4- Maternity vs Paternity leave

As soon as we talk about maternity and paternity

leave in Spain, fathers had always had fewer days
off than mothers since it was said that the child has
a greater need to be around the mother since she is
the one who feeds him for a long time but now for
practically a year, the mother and father have the
same number of days off since both are important
people for the son and both take care of him equally.
This wants to be headway towards gender equality
and care, now both of them have 16 weeks off.
