primary and secondary research and use citation(apa). the informations that I researched which will analyze
my ideas and goal.

Design brief / Reflection

- In this unit we are talking about global goals and we should create solution for that. There are 17 global
goals which are no poverty, no hunger, good health and wellbeing, etc. I decide to do gender equality. Even
though there were many choice, but I felt I want to make a solution for gender equality. Because I have
some basic information in my head. Also I can find gender inequality issue easily. For solution, I am thinking
about make a website or youtube channel for animation, web poster or some articles. Gender inequality will
not be easy to solve but if I or we try to do something for improve on gender inequality, it will be better than
do nothing. The reason why I decide to do make a website or youtube channel is google and youtube is
what many people always use. They might come to see. Also I can find many feminist or gender equality
campaign website. As it’s website, first looking is very important. So I will put some sentences which can
make people feel how serious gender inequality is in the world. I think each gender should have same
perspective from others. If I summary my plan for this unit, I will make a website or youtube channel. For
website, I will put some facts or issues about gender inequality, what solutions do we have for it, why each
gender should be equal, who is actually working on solving gender inequality and some video that I make
about gender inequality. For youtube channel, I am thinking about two different ways. First idea is make a
videos for elementary or kid like a animation. Children are also have many gender inequality perspective.
But I want to change their perspective. Because it’s easy for children to change their perspective which
called stereotypes. For children, it’s way easier to change their stereotypes. My second idea is make a
video for students or adult. As it’s older than children, they think more than children. So I want to make kind
 of documentary. But my final thinking is make a website will be better solution than make a youtube
channel.

Primary research (interview)

❖ What is meant by gender?

- Gender refers to economic, social and cultural characteristics and opportunities associated with men or
women. In most societies, being a man or a woman is not simply a matter of other biological and physical
characteristics. Men and women have different expectations about how they dress, act and work.
Relationships between men and women, in the family, in the workplace or in the public domain, also reflect
an understanding of talent, characteristics, and behavior that is appropriate for women and men. Gender
differs from sex in that it is social and cultural rather than biological. Gender characteristics and
characteristics vary greatly from society to society and change over time, especially with the roles played by
men and women, and the expectations given to them. But the fact that sex properties are socially
constructed means that they are likely to change in a way that makes society fairer and fairer.
❖ What is the difference between gender equity, gender equality and women’s empowerment?
- Gender equality is the process of treating men and women fairly. Strategies and measures should often be
available to compensate for the historical and social disadvantages of women who prevent men and women
from operating on an equal footing to ensure fairness. Equality brings equality. Gender equality requires
equal enjoyment of socially valuable goods, opportunities, resources and rewards. Where gender inequality
exists, women are usually excluded or disadvantaged in relation to decision making and access to
economic and social resources. Thus, an important aspect of promoting gender equality is empowerment of
women. Women's power is focused on identifying and correcting the power imbalance. Gender equality
does not mean that men and women are equal; access to opportunities and changes in life is not dependent
on or constrained to their sex. To achieve gender equality, women's rights are required to ensure that
women and men can participate fully as productive and reproductive partners, and that they no longer help
in decision making and resource access at a private and public level.
❖ Why is it important to take gender concerns into account in programme design and implementation?
- Therefore, it is important for two reasons to consider gender concerns when designing and implementing
population and development programs. First, there are differences between male and female roles that
require different approaches. Secondly, there is systematic inequality between men and women. Worldwide,
there is a clear pattern of inferior access to resources and opportunities for women. In addition, women are
systematically poorly represented in the decision-making process that forms their own lives and societies.
This pattern of inequality constrains the development of a society because it limits the chance of half its
population. When women are forced to reach their full potential, that potential is lost throughout society.
Program design and implementation should strive to address one or both of these factors.
❖ What is gender mainstreaming?
- Gender mainstreaming is a strategy to incorporate gender concerns into the analysis, formulation and
monitoring of policies, programs and projects. Therefore it is a means to an end, not in itself; it is not a
process, not a goal. The purpose of gender mainstreaming is to promote gender equality and the power of
women in population and development activities. It should deal with conditions as well as the status of
women and men in society. Therefore, gender mainstreaming aims to close known gender gaps and gaps
in areas such as division of labor between males and females, and to enhance the legitimacy of gender
equality values such as access and control to resources, access to services, information and opportunities.
UNFPA adopted the mainstreaming of sex interest in all population and development activities as the
primary means of achieving gender equality, equity and commitment to women's power under the
International Population Development Conference.
- Gender mainstreaming does not preclude strategic intervention that focuses only on women and men. In
some cases, sex analyses preceding program design and development reveal severe inequalities that call
for an early strategy of sexist intervention. However, such sexist interventions should still aim to reduce
identified gender differences by focusing on equality or inequality as a goal rather than on men or women as
target groups. In that context, sexist intervention is still an important aspect of the gender mainstreaming
strategy. When properly implemented, they should not contribute to the marginalization of men in important
areas such as access to reproductive and sexual health services. They should also not contribute to the
gains that women have already gained or the growth of progress. Rather, they should incorporate such
benefits, a central component for gender equality.
❖ Why is gender equality important?
- Gender equality is intrinsically linked to sustainable development and is essential for the realization of
human rights for all. The overall goal of gender equality is a society in which men and women enjoy the
same opportunities, rights and obligations in all areas of life. Equality between men and women takes the
opportunity to share education and personal ambitions with equal opportunities for financial independence,
both through work and through business, when both men and women can share equally in the distribution of
power and influence. It is completely free from coercion, intimidation, and sexist violence for families, both
at work and at work.
- In the context of population and development programs, gender equality is important because it allows
women and men to make decisions that positively affect their sexual and reproductive health as well as the
health of their spouse and family. Decisions involving marriage ages, birth dates, contraception and
hazardous practices should be improved in achieving gender equality.
- However, where gender inequality exists, it is important to admit that women are generally excluded or
disadvantaged in relation to decision making and access to economic and social resources. Thus, an
important aspect of promoting gender equality is empowerment of women. Women's power is focused on
identifying and correcting the power imbalance. This will allow them to make decisions and take steps to
achieve and maintain their own reproductive and sexual health. Gender equality and the power of women
do not mean that men and women are equal; access to opportunities and changes in life do not depend on
their sex or be constrained.
❖ Is gender equality a concern for men?
- The achievement of gender equality implies changes for both men and women. More equitable relationships
will need to be based on a redefinition of the rights and responsibilities of women and men in all spheres of
life, including the family, the workplace and the society at large. It is therefore crucial not to overlook gender
as an aspect of men’s social identity. This fact is, indeed, often overlooked, because the tendency is to
consider male characteristics and attributes as the norm, and those of women as a variation of the norm.
- The lives of men are just as strongly influenced by gender as those of women. Societal norms and
conceptions of masculinity and expectations of men as leaders, husbands or son's create demands on men
and shape their behaviour. Men are too often expected to concentrate on the material needs of their
families, rather than on the nurturing and caring roles assigned to women. Socialization in the family and
later in schools promotes risk-taking behaviour among young men, and this is often reinforced through peer
pressure and media stereotypes. So the lifestyles that men’s roles demand often result in their being more
exposed to greater risks of morbidity and mortality than women. These risks include ones relating to
accidents, violence and alcohol consumption.
- Men also have the right to assume a more nurturing role, and opportunities for them to do so should be
promoted. Equally, however, men have responsibilities in regard to child health and to their own and their
partners’ sexual and reproductive health. Addressing these rights and responsibilities entails recognizing
men’s specific health problems, as well as their needs and the conditions that shape them. The adoption of
a gender perspective is an important first step; it reveals that there are disadvantages and costs to men
 accruing from patterns of gender difference. It also underscores that gender equality is concerned not only
with the roles, responsibilities and needs of women and men, but also with the interrelationships between
them.

10 Examples of Gender Inequality in the World

❖ Lack of mobility
- In Saudi Arabia, they banned women’s driving and they must rely on their fathers or husbands to get from
place to place.
- In Egypt and Bahrain, husbands have the right to stop their wives from leaving the country while other
countries require written permission from a husband to travel.
❖ Freedom of marriage
- According to U.N. South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa women marriage by age 18.
- They increase the number of the birth but also contravenes the fundamental human right of choice of
partnership.
- In Pakistan, women is able to accept arranged marriage, but if women refuse it can lead “honor killing”
which doesn’t matter with government.
❖ Discriminatory divorce rights
- In most of the Middle East, countries are governed by religious ideals and gender inequality is pervasive.
- As a men they think they are superior so they can divorce with wife easily but in Lebanon, abused women
do not even have the right to file for divorce unless an eyewitness is willing to testify.
❖ Citizenship
- Except in Israel, Iran, Tunisia, and parts of Egypt, women in the Middle East have no right to give
citizenship to their children, and men can pass it on to their wives as well as to non-state children.
❖ Frontline combat
- Military service is allowed, but women are still not allowed to serve in frontline battles in Turkey and
Slovakia. In recent years, gender discrimination continued in the UK in 2016.
❖ Custody rights
- In some countries, courts automatically grant custody of their fathers, and women are left without any
financial support. For example, in Bahrain, family laws are not organized, so judges can deny mothers the
right to raise their children.
❖ Violence
- The unfair legal rights make women more and more vulnerable to violence. One of the most obvious forms
of violence against women in the world today is spousal rape. India's latest ruling that the rape law does not
apply to married couples clearly shows the sexual assault and violence women are exposed to.
❖ Professional obstacles
- Women are also at a disadvantage in income in developed countries. The highest paid field is still
dominated by men, and on average women earn only 77 percent of their income from the same amount of
work. At this rate, it could take 45 years for the gender inequality to disappear.
❖ Restricted land ownership
- In some countries, common or religious laws virtually prohibit women from owning land. In many countries,
such as northern Sudan, Tanzania, and Lesotho, land ownership and control tend to go to male leaders. In
 Zambia, men and women are allowed to obtain registered land titles, but conventional land ownership is
also accepted, making it impossible for women to take over without their husbands' permission.
❖ Access to education
- Women account for more than two-thirds of the world's illiterate adults, especially in Afghanistan, where
many anti-female groups attack schools. Women's rights are also impaired by limited awareness of what
they are entitled to, which can only be remedied through more access to education.

Gender Inequality Index (GII)

❖ GII is gender inequality index. It measures the difference in abilities measured by three important aspects of
human development, reproductive health as measured by maternal mortality and adolescent birth rates, the
ratio of women to men aged at least 25 years and adults. An economic position measured by labor
participation rates of men and women aged 15 years and over, expressed by labour market participation.
GII gives a new light on the positions of women in 160 countries. Gender discrimination still remains a major
obstacle to human development. Girls and women have made great progress since 1990, but they have yet
to achieve gender equality. The disadvantages facing women and girls are a major cause of inequality. Too
often women and girls are discriminated against in health, education, political representation, and labor
market, which negatively affects their ability and freedom of choice.
