Introduction
Before discussing that does gender equality exist or not we first need to understand what the
definition of Gender Equality is. Gender equality is when both women and men enjoy the
same rights and opportunities across all the sectors of society, including economic
participation and decision-making, and when the different behaviours, aspirations and needs
are equally valued and favoured in the society we live in.
The very reason that gender quality is such an important issue in our society from past few
years especially is because it is undermining our social fabric and is devaluing all of us. It is
not just a human rights issue but a tremendous waste of the world’s human potential. By
denying both the gender equal rights, we deny half the population a chance to live life at its
fullest.
Usually gender equality is mistaken as a topic where people talk about the equality of women
in society or about the issues of male dominating society and then there is other argument that
because of the laws that have come into effect for the protection of women, the judgement of
society has become biased against men. These are the two main arguments that have been
discussed below.
Conclusion:
It is rightly said that “souls have no gender”. So considering both the arguments we conclude
that both men and women were created to complement each other and to accept the way they
have been created by understanding their strengths and weakness as well and to empathize
with each other to walk together and build a society wherein there is harmony and equal
rights for men and women so that they enjoy access to every opportunity.
