Welcome to GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT!

Inclusivity. That's what gender equality is all about. A woman can be a leader, an athlete, or even a police officer with no one looking down on their skills and capabilities. Meanwhile, a man can be a plain house husband, a teacher, and even a pageant contestant without everyone questioning their masculinity. Members of the LGBT community can be whatever they want without any eyes judging them. We should close the chapter on stereotyping the tasks based on biased expectations. Gender equality aims to promote equal opportunities, breaking down barriers based on gender.
