Gender Equality — SteemCN

Gender equality, also known as sexual equality, is the state of equal ease of access to resources and opportunities regardless of gender, including economic participation and decision-making; and the state of valuing different behaviors, aspirations and needs equally, regardless of gender.
The problem with gender is that it prescribes how we should be rather than recognize how we are. (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie)

Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong. It is time we all see gender as a spectrum, instead of two set of opposing ideals. If we stop defining each other by what we are not, are start defining ourselves by who we are, we can all be freer. (Emma Watson)

Achieving gender equality requires engagement of men and women, boys and girls. It is everyones responsibility.
Gender equality is not a woman issue. It is a human issue. It affects us all.
