 FACTORS OF GENDER INEQUALITY

2 Socialization and Gender Roles:

Societal expectations and norms regarding
gender roles contribute to inequality. Cultural
beliefs and socialization processes often assign
specific roles, behaviors, and expectations to
individuals based on their gender, reinforcing
unequal power dynamics and limiting
opportunities for one gender over another.
 FACTORS OF GENDER INEQUALITY

Economic Disparities:
Gender-based economic disparities play a
significant role in gender inequality. Women
often face wage gaps, occupational segregation,
and limited access to economic resources and
opportunities. This can result in financial
dependence, economic vulnerability, and a lack
of decision-making power for women.
FACTORS OF GENDER INEQUALITY

Discriminatory Laws and Policies

Discriminatory laws, policies, and practices
perpetuate gender inequality. These can
include discriminatory legislation regarding
inheritance rights, property ownership,
employment practices, and access to
healthcare and reproductive rights.
FACTORS OF GENDER INEQUALITY

Gender-Based Violence and Harassment

Gender-based violence and harassment are
pervasive factors contributing to gender inequality.
Women and girls disproportionately experience
various forms of violence, including domestic
violence, sexual assault, harassment, and harmful
traditional practices. This perpetuates a climate of
fear, restricts women's freedoms, and reinforces
power imbalances.

 TYPES OF GENDER INEQUALITIES

2 Economic Inequality
This refers to the disparity in economic
opportunities, income, and employment
between genders. Women often face wage gaps,
limited access to high-paying jobs, and unequal
opportunities for career advancement.
 TYPES OF GENDER INEQUALITIES

2 Educational Inequality
Gender-based disparities can be observed in
access to education and educational
opportunities. In some societies, girls may
have limited access to schooling or face
cultural biases that discourage their pursuit
of education.
 TYPES OF GENDER INEQUALITIES

2 Legal Inequality
Gender-based discrimination can be
reinforced through legal frameworks that
treat women and men differently. This can
include laws that restrict women's rights,
such as limitations on property ownership,
inheritance rights, or discriminatory family
laws.
 TYPES OF GENDER INEQUALITIES

2 POLITICAL INEQUALITY
Women's representation in political decision-
making processes and leadership roles is
often lower than men. This includes lower
participation rates in politics, limited
representation in legislative bodies, and
unequal access to positions of power and
influence.
 TYPES OF GENDER INEQUALITIES

2 Social and Cultural Inequality

Gender roles, stereotypes, and expectations
can contribute to inequality. These can
include expectations regarding caregiving
responsibilities, restrictive gender norms, and
the social marginalization of individuals who
do not conform to traditional gender norms.

 CAUSES OF GENDER INEQUALITIES

2 Social and Cultural Norms

Gender inequality is often rooted in deep-seated
social and cultural norms that assign different
roles, expectations, and values to individuals
based on their gender. These norms perpetuate
stereotypes and discriminatory practices,
limiting opportunities and resources for certain
genders.
 CAUSES OF GENDER INEQUALITIES

2 Education and Health Disparities

Gender inequality can hinder access to quality
education and healthcare. In some societies,
cultural norms and biases restrict girls' access to
education, limiting their opportunities for
personal growth and economic independence.
 CAUSES OF GENDER INEQUALITIES

2 Limited Political Representation

Gender inequality often leads to women being
underrepresented in positions of power and decision-
making, both in politics and other sectors. This lack
of representation prevents diverse perspectives from
shaping policies and governance, ultimately affecting
the well-being of entire societies. Women's
participation in politics and leadership positions is
crucial for achieving balanced and inclusive decision-
making.
 CAUSES OF GENDER INEQUALITIES

2 Gender-Based Violence
Gender inequality contributes to an environment
where gender-based violence is more prevalent.
Discriminatory attitudes and harmful gender norms
perpetuate violence against women, including
domestic violence, sexual assault, and harassment.
This not only affects the victims but also undermines
social cohesion and overall well-being.
 CAUSES OF GENDER INEQUALITIES

2 Intersectionality
Refers to the interconnected nature of social
categorizations such as race, gender, class, sexuality,
and other identities. It recognizes that individuals
experience multiple forms of discrimination and
oppression simultaneously, and these overlapping
identities shape their experiences and social standing.
