gender and war: the effects of armed conflict on women

It does not require that girls and boys, or women and men, be the same, or that they be treated exactly alike.' UNICEF says gender equality 'means that women and men, and girls and boys, enjoy the same rights, resources, opportunities and protections. As of 2017, the global movement for gender equality has not incorporated the proposition of genders besides women and men, or gender identities outside of the gender binary. Gender equality is more than just equal representation, it is strongly tied to women's rights, and often requires policy changes. Gender parity, which is used to measure gender balance in a given situation, can aid in achieving gender equality but is not the goal in and of itself. Gender equality is the goal, while gender neutrality and gender equity are practices and ways of thinking that help in achieving the goal. Gender equality, also known as sexual equality or equality of the sexes, is the state of equal ease of access to resources and opportunities regardless of gender, including economic participation and decision-making and the state of valuing different behaviors, aspirations and needs equally, regardless of gender.
