1. Review the legal framework, institutions and polices in every country, identify the discriminatory practices and take corrective action.
2. Identify cultural and tradition practices and beliefs which promote gender inequality including the roles and responsibilities of all the actors and take corrective action.
3. Institutionalize policies and practices that promote gender equality.
4. Identify and strengthen advocacy groups who can advocate for women’s rights (men) in areas where they have been identified as deficient. Strong women’s groups are a good ally
5. Collect, analyze and use gender disaggregated data continuously to identify where problems might lie and take corrective action before they become endemic.
6. Build capacity in gender analysis and mainstreaming so that people (technical and lay people) have the knowledge, understanding and tools to strategize and plan for a gender sensitive and responsive world.
What is the major source of gender inequality?
Discrimination based on an individual’s gender/sex.
What are the negatives of gender equality?
There are no negatives to gender equality because equality is the respect of each person’s right to exist and enjoy their right as a human being. Human rights are indivisible, interdependent, and non-discriminatory, as a result enjoying your right does not diminish the right of another person.
