DEVELOPING COUNTRIES HAVE ON OUR WORLD?

WHAT IS GENDER EQUITY?

Gender Equity is when both men and women have equal rights., responsibilities and opportunities.

WHAT IS BEING DONE TO ACHIEVE GENDER EQUITY

IN THE WORLD SO FAR?• UNICEF is teaching young

kids to read and write and providing them with knowledge to be active members of society from a young age

• UNICEF recently build water wells in Morocco so girls wouldn’t have to walk to get water every day and could beat school getting an education instead. Since, this project there has been a 20% rise in Girls attendance at school

GENDER EQUALITY PRINCIPLES

Accountability

THE GENDER EQUALITY ACT

The Government has established a new Workplace Gender Equality Act . The aim is to promote and improve gender equality in workplaces by supporting employers to remove barriers and enable greater opportunities for women, whilst improving the overall productivity and competitiveness of Australian businesses.

DISTRIBUTION OF WATER

This survey is from 45 different developing countries. The fact that 64% of women collect water daily has a huge impact on equality. In society, it’s men who work and the women who stay home and cook, clean, collect water, wash the clothes, look after the kids ect… These is an unfair and unjust world and women should have rights like men to get an education and earn money for their families.

ARE WOMEN AND MEN’S RIGHTS EQUAL?

WOMEN'S ROLE IN THE FAMILY

DO YOUR MALE COLLEAGUES WHO DO THE SAME OR A SIMILAR JOB AS

YOU EARN MORE THAN YOU?

HOW DOES ALL OF THIS AFFECT FAMILIES?

By girls being educated, this means that they can get a good job that pays well. By earning money this helps them provide them for their families.. Families will be happy when there is enough food to go around, they can send their kids to school, buy then a uniform, books, stationary and have enough money to survive on. All of this just starts from girls having an education.
