Gender Equality - It's a Men's Issue Too

Abstract

The Global Gender Report for 2014 recognizes that while the most glaring case for gender equality comes from data about the economic benefit of women’s inclusion, fairness is “another simple and powerful reason” why gender equality should be fought for. Although “another” may sound quite an understatement, the Report does not fail to pinpoint that women represent one half of the world’s population and investigates to what an extent they are exercising the right of equal access to health, education, power and political representation.
