Gender equality

[ayaayapotpot]

Gender equality, also known as sexual equality, is the state of equal ease of access to resources and opportunities regardless of gender, including economic participation and decision-making; and the state of valuing different behaviors, aspirations and needs equally, regardless of gender.

Gender equality, equality between men and women, entails the concept that all human beings, both men and women, are free to develop their personal abilities and make choices without the limitations set by stereotypes, rigid gender roles and prejudices. Gender equality means that the different behaviour, aspirations and needs of women and men are considered, valued and favoured equally. It does not mean that women and men have to become the same, but that their rights, responsibilities and opportunities will not depend on whether they are born male or female. Gender equity means fairness of treatment for women and men, according to their respective needs. This may include equal treatment or treatment that is different but which is considered equivalent in terms of rights, benefits, obligations

Do you think that men and woman are treated equally in society?
if not , what are the ways you suggest to promote equality among society ?

Women are supposed to be treated with much care in the society. It's not because they are physically weaker than men but because they are more prone to be attacked instead of men.

But yes with the privileges women should have equal rights with men too.

No, men and women don't need to try being equal. They are different in many ways and that is great! We have to remember that God gave us (men and women) different roles in life.
Several centuries ago women weren't treated the right way. Girls couldn't go to school, work and etc. They were born to be mothers and that's it. And that wasn't really fair.
But nowadays everything has changed. Both men and women have a chance to work, have a career and have a normal life. So I do not see the need for women to achieve their independence if we already have all the rights that we need.

Honestly, women are more favored by our society because they are considered to be fragile and weaker than men. When it comes to jobs, employers and companies only hires men for hard and difficult jobs and mostly hire women for office works. However, there are women who excels in men's field and vice versa.

There are some fields out there, in which the females usually perform better than men. Women are usually preferred for jobs such as receptionists and personal assistants. Certain sectors such as fashion designing, child-care services, hospitality and teaching are heavily dominated by women.

IF women wants GENDER EQUALITY we should have out first the old traditions.
LADY'S FIRST!
this is the thing that they do want to exist as always, they want man to give sit to them,
They want not to be hurt physically but they do it more to guys.
How can they get gender equality if they want more importance than man?

One might object that there are meaningful differences between males and females, and these in turn are the source of gender inequality. Some believe that equality is the wrong word to use, because males and females can’t be equal if they are different.

But when feminists refer to gender equality, we are not arguing that males and females are identical or indistinguishable on all behaviour, preferences and abilities. Nor does it mean all gender differences must be eliminated, or that we must have equal gender representation in every field.

I am a woman and i can say in other thing women and men must be equal but in the terms of work like carpenter co struction its only for men and theres also work that only women can do.

I can't agree with you. I think, there is no such thing as "work only for some gender". I think, anyone should be able to do anything he or she wants. However, it includes such cases when a woman wants to be a housewife: some feminists denies this right for women, strangely. Some women want to pursue a career, but some want to take care of the family, and everyone should get what they want.

Men and women in this world work harmoniously for the sake of living. Jobs were made for them to apply and act on. But are these opportunities gives an equal treatment to both men and women? I think that yes, but not all the time, and not anywhere. I have been carefully noticed that specifications for a particular job were based on ability and skills, not on the gender anymore. But there will alsways be an exception to everything. For example, they arelooking for sales lady, and a waiter. Then, automatically, what they are looking are women and men respectively. Moreover, as compare to the former years, gender equality is in primary concern right now, especially that many are getting aware with it, and fight for it.

Government are still implementing laws and rules about man and woman treating equally but as you can see in our society this laws and rules people are not following they still treated man and women not equal. They still think man are the superior of them all but as an individual we can change the perspective of the society about gender  if we will start within ourselves if we will respect and understand  in this world we have different responsibility, skills and ability.
