Introduction
 Gender is a socio-culturel concept that refers to the
expectation and social roles attributed to men and women in

and culture. The gender stereotypes, wage inequalities,labor
discrimination. Gender based-violence are the challenges
faced by individual because of their genre. These problems
affect not only women but also men in all wold.

I. The causes of gender issues

There are many causes of gender issues that know:
 The differencial socialisation. In fact children are often
high according to different standards and expectations
depending on their sex. This limit the possibilities and
opportunities for personal and professional
development for men and women which drive to gender
issues
 The cultural and religion standards. Some cultures and
religions perpetuate patriarchal standards that limit the
status and rights of women.
 Legal discrimination. In some countries,the
discriminatory laws on marriage,ownership,the
inheritance limit the rights of women and perpetuate
gender inequality
  Sexy stereotypes. The prejudices and socially
constructed expectations on the roles and behaviour of
men and women can strengthen gender inequality
 Economic inequalities. Women are often victims of
wage discrimination limited access to financial resources
and employment which strengthen to gender inequality
in the work

II. The consequences of gender issues

Gender issues can have a range of consequences,affecting
individuals families,communities and societies as a whole.
Some potential consequences include:
 Gender inequality: Gender issues can perpetuate and
contribute to inequality between men and women
leading to disparities in access to resources and
opportunities. This can hinder the development and
progress of individuals and societies ,with women often
facing greater barriers to education, employment and
leadership positions
 Gender-based violence: Gender issues can contribute to
the prevalence of various forms of violence, such as
domestic violence, sexual violence and harassment.
These acts of violence are often rooted in unequal
power dynamics and gender norms, affecting the
physical, mental and emotional well-being of victims.
 Economic implication: gender issues can have economic
consequences, as women often face wage discrimination
and limited access to economic resources. This can lead
to economic instability, poverty and dependence not
only for women but also for families and communities.
  Gender issues can result in the marginalisation and
discrimination of certain individuals based and their
gender identity or expression. This can lead to limited
opportunities, unequal treatment and the reinforcement
of harmful stereotypes, such as the belief that women
are less competent that men shoals no show emotions.
 Gender issues can restrict the full participation and
contribution of individuals in social, cultural and political
spaces. By enforcing gender norms and roles, societies
may limit the perspectives, ideas and talents of half
social progress and innovation.

III. Solutions to the gender issues

numerous and varied as they affect various aspects of life.
Here are some solutions for each of these areas.
 To strengthen policies and programs for prevention and
response to sexual and gender-based violence.
