What is gender equality?
Gender equality is the state of
equal ease of access to
resources and opportunities
regardless of gender, including:

• economic participation
• decision-making
• And needs
What is gender bias?

Gender bias is a preference

or prejudice toward one
gender over the other. Bias
can be conscious or
unconscious, and may
manifest in many ways, both
subtle and obvious.
 Examples
Historically in many countries,
men make more money over a
career than women, even if they
hold the same job.
Men are accused of marital rape
or rape committed by the person
to whom the victim is married.
 Why is it important?

Gender equality is intrinsically

linked to sustainable
development and is vital to
the realization of human rights
for all, providing equal
opportunities such as
education and employment.
According to the World Economic
Forum, in 2014, the Philippines
ranked 9th highest in terms of
gender equality, This is the
highest in Asia,
The 1987 Philippine Constitution
in article II, section 14 maintains
that the State, "recognizes the
role of women in nation building
and shall ensure the fundamental
equality before the law of women
 A gender-equal society
would be one where the
word 'gender' does not
exist: where everyone can
be themselves.
