GENDER EQUALITY

What is Gender Equality?

Gender equality, is the view that everyone should receive equal treatment and not be discriminated against based

on their gender.

This is one of the objectives of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which seeks to create equality in law and in social situations, such as in democratic activities and securing equal pay for equal work. In practice, the objective of gender equality is for people to acquire, if they so choose, equal treatment throughout a society, not just in politics, the workplace, or any other policy-designated sphere.

But sometimes this is not true ...

And The woman is less valued than the man.

'Machismo'  is the sense of being 'manly' and self-reliant, the concept associated

with "a strong sense of masculine pride ...  the supreme valuation of characteristics culturally associated with the masculine and by implication

some say, a denigration of characteristics associated with the feminine." It is associated with "a man’s responsibility to provide for, protect, and defend his family."

Which leads it to be imposing, and has devalued the multiple women's abilities, denying the possibility of studying, working, and be at the same level that they; fortunately these bad ideologies have changed a bit its course, allowing the equality, and giving a better place of women in society.

These attitudes have triggered major problems of violence and abuse in families, because as the man thinks itself superior, thinks that it has all the rights on his wife, imposing its rules.

Rights that exceed the limits of physical and psychological,

ending with the love, harmony and happiness, damaging the integrity

of the other person.

It is important to be aware of attitudes as arrears that harm

society; and use methods that do not go against the human dignity of

others, as is the dialog, to which you can reach peacefully and which you can obtain favorable results, and not tiring as is the abuse.
