Gender Rights

Gender rights refer to the equal rights, responsibilities, and opportunities of all people, regardless of gender identity, particularly affecting women, transgender and non-binary people. This includes access to resources, opportunities, and protections without discrimination. Despite progress in areas such as education and legal reforms, challenges persist, including discriminatory laws, social norms, and underrepresentation in leadership positions. Advancing gender equality is essential for sustainable development and the realisation of human rights.
