So What Exactly Is Gender Equality?
Gender equality is a term widely used to refer to strides
that a society takes towards providing women and men the same rights and
opportunities across all sectors of society.
It involves the active effort by policy makers to include the
participation of women in all aspects of economic activity and decision-making
in society. When fully and properly embedded in government policy, it strives
at equally valuing and favoring the different behaviors, aspirations and needs
of women and men in society ~ Tom Okure, PH.D
