    Gender

    Inequality
    Kaitlyn King
    Womens Empowerment
    Poverty affects women and girls around the world majorly. In the past
    decade, the international development community has accepted the
    business of enabling womens participation in the economy. Women
    around the world play a critical role in their families survival and
    success. Women make up the majority of the 2 billion unbanked
    individuals. Despite having multiple roles in society as consumers,
    business owners and employees. there is great income inequality
    between men and women. A womans chances of receiving credit are
    lower than a mans. Yet, in an increasing number of families, the women
    provides much or all of the families income.

    Gender discrimination in the workplace is real, not an Urban Legend.


    Some people think that women do not get discriminated against or
    sexualy harassed, especially in the workplace. Millions of women a day
    experience pay inequality, sexual harassment and/or other forms of
    gender discrimination at work.
    The Health Impact of Gender
    inequality
    Discrimination against women still occurs in many cultures, having a
    negative effect on families living in poverty. Giving girls access to
    educational opportunities to encourage literacy is one of the most
    effective ways of bridging this gender gap and improving health care.
    Even small victories on the march toward equality can make a major
    difference in the lives of girls and women living in poverty. According to
    a 2011 report from the World Health Organization, denying primary
    education to young girls has been shown to negatively impact fertility
    rates, birth spacing, health literacy and healthy behaviors.
    Gender Equality
    One in every six women in the country begins childbearing by the age
    of 19. In rural India, only 28% of girls between the ages of 15 and 17
    continue to be part of the education system (as compared to 47%
    boys).In India the proportion of girls and boys enrolling in primary
    school is approximately the same. However, as they grow up there is a
    decline in the rights of women as subjects of their own lives with many
    being subjected to violence within the home, and more than half being
    restricted to their homes with no independent financial earnings.
    Gender Inequality
    Girls and women have made major strides since 1990, but they have
    not yet gained gender equity. The disadvantages facing women and
    girls are a major source of inequality. All too often, women and girls are
    discriminated against in health, education, political representation,
    labour market, etc. with negative repercussions for development of
    their capabilities and their freedom of choice.
