Gender equality
Gender equality refers to the equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities of women and men. It implies that the interests, needs and priorities of both women and men are taken into consideration, and is achieved when women and men enjoy the same rights and opportunities across all sectors of society, including economic participation and decision-making, and when the different behaviours, aspirations and the needs of women and men are equally valued and favoured. Gender equality is not a women’s issue but should also concern and fully engage men
