MCQS BY UNESCO
1) If sex refers to the biological differences between men and women, gender refers to
a) Socially constructed roles and responsibilities of men and women
b) A concept that may change over time and vary within and between cultures
c) Feminity and masculinity
d) All of the above
e) Sex and gender have the same meaning and can be used interchangeably. The concept of
gender is vital because it reveals how womens subordination is socially constructed; is not
biologically predetermined nor is it fixed forever. Gender inequality exists because the two
genders are being valued differently and consequently, have unequal opportunities and life
chances.
2. Gender equality is an issue that is relevant to:

407
a) Girls and women; it is a womens issue

b) Developing countries; it is only there that gender gaps exist
c) All societies, women and men alike
Gender equality is not directly correlated to economic development. Gender inequalities also
exist in industrialized countries with high GNP per capita. Gender equality is not a so called
womens issue. Womens empowerment is necessary but not sufficient in the process towards
the ultimate goal of gender equality, which has yet to be achieved in any country in the world.
3. Which Millennium Development Goal (MDG) focuses on gender?

a) MDG 1
b) MDG 3
c) MDG 5
MDG 3 focuses on the promotion of gender equality and womens empowerment. However, as
indicated in the 2005 World Summit Outcome Document (para 59), gender equality and
womens empowerment are fundamental for the achievement of all MDGs.
4. Why are girls more likely than boys to miss out on secondary education in the
developing world?
a) Because of high school fees, only boys go to school
b) Many adolescent girls are expected to help out at home
c) Child marriage restricts girls mobility and freedom
d) All of the above
Poverty and gender inequality are important factors that prevent girls from going to secondary
school. At the same time, girls education is essential for poverty eradication.
5. What is the proportion of girls in the developing world who get married before the
age of 18?
A) 12%
B) 25%
C) 36%
D) 54%
Globally, 36% of women aged 20-24 were married or in union before they turned 18, most
commonly in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
6. Many women who are infected or at risk of becoming infected with HIV do not
practice high-risk behaviors, and are frequently married or in a monogamous relationship.
a) True; women are vulnerable largely because of their limited autonomy and external
factors, including violence against women and social and economic inequities beyond their
control
b) False; marriage alone guarantees protection from HIV infection
Violence against women, gender discrimination and lack of education increase womens
vulnerability to HIV. Marriage on its own, without mutual exclusivity and the use of proven
effective prevention methods, does not guarantee protection from infection.
7. What fraction of the worlds working hours are worked by women and girls?
a) 1/4
407
b) 1/2
c) 2/3
d) 3/4
Women work 2/3 of the worlds working hours, yet receive only about ten percent of the worlds
income. This is because women are responsible for most of the worlds unpaid labour, which
often goes unrecognized like childcare, cooking and cleaning.
8. As of 2007, how many countries worldwide have met the goal of having women
comprise a critical mass of 30% of parliamentarians?
a) 19
b) 29
c) 39
d) 49
The 19 countries are: Rwanda, Sweden, Costa Rica, Finland, Norway, Denmark, the
Netherlands, Cuba, Spain, Argentina, Mozambique, Belgium, Iceland, South Africa, Austria,
New Zealand, Germany, Burundi and the United Republic of Tanzania. It is to be noted that 6 of
these 19 countries are developing countries.
9. Obstacles faced by women entering the world of Information and Communication

Technologies (ICTs) include:
a) Womens limited access to financial resources for buying ICT equipment
b) Unequal access to education and training
c) Isolation of women in their homes or in remote places
d) All of the above
Women's ability to take advantage of ICT depends on conductive policies, an enabling
environment in their countries to extend communications infrastructure to where women live,
and increased educational levels.
10. Since 1901, the Nobel Prizes have been awarded to 768 individuals and 19
organizations. How many women have received this Prize?
a) 12
b) 33
c) 77
d) 158
Women comprise only 4.3% of all Nobel Laureates. So far, women have won Prizes in all
categories - Physics (2), Chemistry (3), Physiology or Medicine (7), Literature (10), Peace (12) -
with the exception of Economics.
11. Looking at the issue of violence against women from a gender perspective recognizes
that
a) Male violence towards women is instinctive. Women have to accept a certain degree of
violence
b) Violence against women is a manifestation of prevailing unequal power relations
between women and men
c) It is also womens fault if men are violent with women.
407
Violence affects us all but in most cases it targets women and girls and is perpetrated by men.
This is not to say that men are genetically designed to be violent but that as long as gender
inequalities persist in our societies, and that serious efforts are not made to build more balanced
and mutually supporting gender roles, women will continue to suffer.
12. In 2000, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 1325, a historical Resolution that
calls for
a) The exclusion of women from all combating forces, both in military and para-military
structures
b) The full and equal participation of women in all peace and security initiatives
c) Womens equal participation in efforts of war
d) The exclusion of men from all formal peace building processes
In adopting Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security in 2000, the UN Security Council
discussed specifically for the first time the roles of women in the context of armed conflict and
peace building initiatives. This resolution is one of the strongest normative document in this
field.
13. Out of 16 UN peacekeeping operations, how many have full-time gender advisers?
a) 15
b) 7
c) 5
d) 2
As of October 2006, 7 out of 16 peacekeeping operations in countries such as Haiti and Sudan
have a full-time gender adviser. Other missions have gender focal points who deal with gender
issues in addition to other responsibilities. Evaluations of gender mainstreaming efforts in
national and international organizations have found that specialist staff is a critical success
factor to steer process and develop gender awareness and analysis skills of key staff.
14. Which strategies help women become more socially and economically empowered?
a) Women working together to challenge discrimination
b) More income sources for women
c) Improved access to education
d) All of the above
Education, assets ownership and increased income empower women. Ensuring that women have
opportunities to earn income, own assets and get an education can help to strengthen their
influence in household decisions.
15. Gender equality supports:
a) Poverty eradication
b) Education for All goals
c) Reduction of HIV infections
d) Increase in family income
e) All of the above
Gender equality is an essential dimension for ensuring political participation and accountability;
economic empowerment and effective development planning; crisis prevention and conflict

407
resolution; access to clean water, sanitation, energy services and education; the best use of new
technologies for development purposes; and society-wide mobilization against HIV/AIDS.
