    Gender inequality is a social issue that affects people of all genders. It refers to unequal rights or treatment of individuals based on their gender, as reflected in differing access to opportunities and respect. Stereotypes begin in childhood and influence people throughout their lives. Those facing multiple forms of discrimination, such as women, indigenous groups, people with disabilities, or transgender individuals, often experience inequality the most severely. Achieving true gender equality would mean eliminating the concept of gender itself and allowing all people to express themselves freely.

    Gender Inequality
    Gender Inequality
    “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” (European Institute for Gender Equality, n.d.).
    Who’s affected?
    Gender inequality affects everyone, including men. Stereotypes or ‘rules’
    about how women and men, girls and boys should be begin in childhood
    and follow us through to adulthood.

    Not everyone experiences inequality the same way. The situation is worse,
    and often different, for people who face more than one type of
    discrimination.
