It is undeniable that gender inequalities issues have become a centerpiece within global politics. Despite efforts in the last decade by feminist activists and politicians to reach gender equality in politics, women are still underrepresented within governments worldwide. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said it best when he was questioned as to why he considered gender parity within his Cabinet to be a necessity : ‘Because it’s 2015’ (Warzecha). The aim of this essay will be to defend Prime Minister Trudeau’s decision to implement gender parity as it purports to decrease gender inequalities and because gender parity in itself fulfills the basic values of a democratic state. In order to determine the possible implications of this new policy, it is necessary to determine whether institutions ought mirror society in their political representation. The case of the Rwandan government will be reviewed in order to determine the outcome and implications of a female-majority government so as to determine the benefits of gender parity. Finally I will evaluate the possible flaws behind the establishment of gender parity and how despite those flaws, the Canadian government and governments worldwide ought to establish gender parity as a duty to democracy and future generations.
Parliament is the central Canadian political institution and the main body in charge of legislative decisions - it is therefore evident that Parliament effectively shapes the social, economic and political

Gender inequality has become a more pronounced global dispute among the media in 2016. We can trace the inequality of genders back to the beginning of time, but one major aspect that was discussed in class is coverture. Coverture was a legal doctrine in the early 19th century United States that essentially defined wives to be the legal property of her husband. Women restricted by coverture has no existence outside of their marriage. They had no right to vote, could not own property, or do any business under their own name. Coverture did not come to an end until the mid 20th century, which was a long and torturous fight for women. The Women’s Suffrage movement in the 1920s could be cause for the extinction of coverture altogether.

On the old Roman Calendar, New Year 's Day was originally celebrated on March 15, but was switched to January 1 in the year 153 BC after the date was used for choosing the two roman consuls due to military reasons.

Gender inequality has become one of the oldest issues throughout society. Gender inequality can be described as unequal treatment or specific perceptions based on an individual’s gender. In most cases, it has developed over time with the socially constructed gender roles the society portrays. It was said “Nearly one-third of women said they feel discriminated against or treated unfairly based on their gender at least once a week." Opportunities are wasted if stereotypes and biases evaluate people based on their gender. Both men and women have arguments about this issue, but men are unaware of the treatment that women face in field. Today, people feel that women are becoming ahead in the work field because more women are receiving higher education and studies have shown that women tend to go to school for higher education rather than men which is bringing them many more advantages. Others feel that women are still being held back in their occupations and still face the unfair treatment based on their “roles” in society. Despite that inequality towards women on the workforce was worse before and some laws were changed, unfair treatment towards women is still occurring. Gender inequality can be manifested in different ways such as the hiring process, wage gaps, occupational sex segregation, maternity leave, sexual harassment.
Social status and structures have definitely shaped the construction and experience of gender inequality. Men and women are constantly analyzed, compared, and grouped together in society. The result of this yields discrepancies in how sexes are viewed by society. Throughout my examination and explanation of gender inequality, I concluded both men and women are victims to gender inequality.
Considered superiority to be tendered man accustomed by women to respect men. Whether at home or any work environment. There is no equality between genders, even men who identify as gay may not have the same privileges. And as a feminist, all I seek is for equality. The effort the feminists’ strive for equality inspired me to seek equality, because a female deserves to be valued just as a male.
With the year being 2017, you wouldn’t think that gender inequality still existed. Sadly, this seems to be a problem that people still seem to face day by day. How exactly do sociology and gender inequality go hand in hand? The word sociology itself means the study of how people are affected by things that affect them. Gender inequality means the unequal treatment of males or females because of gender roles. To understand this more thoroughly, gender roles are like the way you are expected to be or act in society. For example, women are supposed to stay at home, cook and take care of the children, while the men are the “breadwinners”. Given the years, more and more women have decided to go to college and
“We’ve begun to raise daughters more like sons… but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters,” Gloria Steinem once said about the inequality between genders that exists in the world (Green). Gloria points out the fact that while female rights equality has been empowered, male inequality is ignored or taken lightly. Because of its adverse nature to all genders, the social construct of the masculine stereotype should be abolished, so both men and women can experience the freedoms to be how they want, raise their children, receive parental leave, and unreservedly express feelings to improve their psychological well being.
Gender Inequality refers to unequal treatment (or) perception of individual based on their gender. A system that advantages men over women in material, resources, power, status and authority has been continuing in one form or the other. It has been a taboo for centuries now which restricts women, access to basic opportunities, resources. Throughout the world, women continue to face inequality in all the spheres of life. Various workgroups, social institutions, organizations has been setup, schemes have been introduced, pushing to address this basic fundamental human right which stresses on the issue that men and women should be given equal rights and should be treated equally. Statically, developed countries have come closer to equality while developing and under developed countries such as Sri Lanka, Africa, Pakistan, India have a long journey ahead of them in achieving this goal of inequality which is the root cause of overall development of such countries. Before fully understanding the issue, we should first dig and find out what really causes men to act superior than the women?

Question #3 – I would tell my friend…yes, we are all equal. However, history hasn’t always showed men and women being equally treated. Even though society has made a lot of progress, we are still living in a patriarchy, a system that privileges men over women. Furthermore, some would even say we still live in an androcentric society, a culture that places masculinity at the center. Even worse, our country is full of sexism. Compared to the 1950’s, you might believe men and women are treated pretty equally in society. Notwithstanding, there still is a lot of gender injustices in our current society, especially in America, and there is proof to back it up. For the following reason, this is why studying gender is still extremely relevant.
During the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, women were not allowed to vote; instead, they were forced to become housewives and obey their loved ones (“Women’s Suffrage Movement”). On August 20th, 1920, the 19th Amendment was ratified, women finally gained equal rights in American society, after countless struggles to obtain it. In today's society, people question if women should assist in military combat or not. Gender equality remains an issue that the world is still having. Women can handle themselves on their own and be independent. Women should also have the right to serve in combat if she meets all criteria and should not be held back from her decision. Regardless what others may believe, women should be allowed and have the right to serve in combat and protect her country.
Feminism is a movement that encourages the advancement of political, economic, and social equality of the sexes. For centuries, women have been advocating to be treated equally.
