Gender Equality refers to the state in which individuals of all genders have equal rights, responsibilities, and opportunities. It encompasses the idea that personal, cultural, social, and economic factors should not determine or limit access to resources and rights based on gender. Gender equality aims to eliminate discrimination and bias, ensuring that everyone can participate fully in all aspects of life, including education, employment, healthcare, and political representation. It recognizes the importance of both men and women, as well as non-binary and gender-diverse individuals, in achieving balanced societal development.
