GENDER

INEQUALITY
•
Is the idea and situation
that women and men are not equal. Gender
inequality refers to unequal treatment or
perceptions of individuals wholly or partly
due to their gender. It arises from
differences in gender roles. Gender
systems are often dichotomous and
hierarchical. Gender inequality stems from
distinctions, whether empirically grounded
or socially constructed.
• Women lag behind men in many domains,
including education, labor market
opportunities and political representation and
in pay.
• Legal, social and cultural situation in which
sex and/or gender determine different rights
and dignity for women and men, which are
reflected in their unequal access to or
enjoyment of rights, as well as the assumption
of stereotyped social and cultural roles.

 Person With Disabilities (PWDs)
•
according the UN Convention on the
Rights of Persons With Disabilities,
include those who have long-term
physical, mental, intellectual or sensory
impairments which in interaction with
various barriers may hinder their full and
effective participation in society on an
equal basis with others.
• The International Classification of
Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)
refers to disability as “an umbrella term
covering impairments, activity limitations, and
participation restrictions. An impairment is a
problem in body function or structure; an
activity limitation is a difficulty encountered
by an individual in executing a task or action;
while a participation restriction is a problem
experienced by an individual in involvement
in life situations”.
 Ethnic Minority
• An ethnic minority is a group of people who differ in
race or color or in national, religious, or cultural
origin from the dominant group (often the majority
population) of the country in which they live. The
different identity of an ethnic minority may be
displayed in any number of ways, ranging from
distinctive customs, lifestyles, language or accent,
dress, and food preferences to particular attitudes,
moral values, and economic or political beliefs
espoused by members of the group.
• Characteristically the minority is recognized, but
it is not necessarily accepted by the larger society
in which its members live. The nature of the
relationship of the ethnic minority to the larger
society will tend to determine whether the
minority group will move in the direction of
assimilation in the larger society or toward self-
segregation. In some cases ethnic minorities have
been simply excluded by the majority, a striking
example being African Americans in the
American South during the late-19th and 20th
centuries.
 Global Inequalities
• Internationalinequality refers to the idea of
inequality between countries. This can be
compared to global inequality which is
inequality between people across countries.
This may refer to economic differences
between countries. As well as, medical care
and education differences.
