rigid gender roles, or prejudices
Gender equality means that the different
behaviours, aspirations and needs of
women and men are considered, valued and
favoured equally.
It does not mean that women and men
have to become the same, but that their
rights, responsibilities and opportunities will
not depend on whether they are born male
or female.

women and men, according to
their respective needs.
This may include equal treatment
or treatment that is different but
considered equivalent in terms of
rights, benefits, obligations and
opportunities.
In the development context, a
gender equity goal often requires
built-in measures to compensate
for the historical and social
disadvantages of women.
