Gender inequality is the idea that men and women are not equal. It refers to unequal treatment or perceptions of individuals wholly or partly due to their gender. It is the discrimination on the basis of sex or gender causing one sex or gender to be routinely privileged or prioritized over another. Gender equality is a fundamental human right. Advancing gender equality is critical to all areas of a healthy society, from reducing poverty to promoting the health, education, protection and the well-being of girls and boys.
