Gender Equality | Vibepedia

Gender equality refers to the state of equal access to resources and opportunities, regardless of gender, as defined by the United Nations and supported by organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Labor Organization (ILO). This concept is closely tied to the work of feminist theorists like Simone de Beauvoir and bell hooks, who have shaped the discourse on gender and equality. As of 2022, gender equality remains a key focus of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with SDG 5 specifically targeting gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls, in line with the vision of leaders like Angela Merkel and Jacinda Ardern
