Gender equality refers to the state in which individuals of all genders have equal rights, responsibilities, and opportunities. It embodies the principle that all genders should have equal access to resources, social and economic opportunities, and decision-making power, without facing discrimination based on their gender. Gender equality advocates for the elimination of barriers that prevent individuals, particularly women and marginalized genders, from achieving parity in various spheres of life, including education, employment, health, and political representation.
