GENDER EQUALITY

Gender Equality

Gender equality is a universal principle of law recognizing the same rights for men and women to be treated with the same respect. This principle is crucial in the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in which the main goal is to give legal and social equality regardless of the people’s sex.

This equality must be the basis of education, families and work, since men and women deserve to have the same rights and obligations, to be treated with respect and to have equal opportunities and conditions in every sphere of life.

Basic Principles of Gender Equality

Equality must be based on the following basic principles: 

A) Freedom, making sure that everyone can act with real freedom. 

B) Trust, eradicating inequality and embracing the change. 

C) Dialogue, attending to meetings and reaching agreements that benefit all. 

D) Solidarity, being responsible for the future.

2. Professional and Economic Promotion: equal opportunities and access to employment must be promoted, boosting business ventures and entrepreneurship which, in turn, should promote equality in business management, integrating women in all economic sectors.

4. Education and Equality: coeducation must be present in the whole teaching community, implementing training programmes in equality matters.

8. Health and Well-Being: equality must be promoted in the sport practice. Besides, it is fundamental to educate for health issues, collaborating and facilitating health programmes giving information in all forms.

9. Communication: equality in the media as well as in any other information cannel must be boosted too, creating and consolidating new spaces for equality diffusion in the different media and adapting the messages to a better way to promote gender equality.
