1. La Pervasividad de la Desigualdad de Género.
A pesar de décadas de progreso y esfuerzos, la desigualdad de género sigue siendo una de las formas más antiguas y arraigadas de injusticia a nivel mundial, afectando la voz, el trabajo y la representación de las mujeres.
- Gender inequality is one of the oldest and most pervasive forms of inequality in the world. It denies women their voices, devalues their work and make womens position unequal to mens.
- Despite decades of progress, women still earn less than men in every region of the world. Equal pay is not only about fairness at work its about dismantling systemic inequality and building societies where womens rights are fully realized.
- The persistence of gender inequality is one of the most pressing issues facing the world today.
- Although women make up half of the worlds population, they still face inequality and discrimination.
2. Impacto Económico y Brecha de Riqueza.
La desigualdad económica está profundamente ligada al género, con las mujeres poseyendo significativamente menos riqueza y enfrentando brechas salariales persistentes, lo que limita su movilidad social y el crecimiento económico global.
- Rising wealth inequality limits social mobility, undermines democracy, and harms productivity growth. Its also deeply gendered as men hold significantly more wealth than women.
- Gender inequality is inextricable in income inequality. There is no valid discussion to be had about income inequality without gender being at the heart of it.
- Studies show that gender inequality costs the global economy 160 trillion. If women had equal access to jobs, education leadership, economies would boom. Womens rights arent just moraltheyre smart economics.
- Women in great britain hold on average 78,00 less wealth than men - thats a 21 gap. Far higher than the gender pay gap at 13.
3. Reacción y Resistencia a la Igualdad.
El avance hacia la igualdad de género ha provocado una fuerte reacción, a menudo impulsada por el conservadurismo y el patriarcado, que busca socavar los derechos de las mujeres y las minorías, percibiendo su progreso como una amenaza.
- The rightward shift isnt a reaction to inequality, its a reaction to equality, just as it appears. Women and minorities achieving more freedom and better status is inherently perceived as threatening.
- With the rise of conservatism, such efforts are being undermined.
- From provider to precarious how young mens economic decline fuels the anti-feminist backlash this paper explores how rising economic precarity and inequality are fuelling anti-feminist backlash, with implications for efforts towards gender justice.
- The patriarchal dividend kicks back with a vengeance when gender inequality is challenged, especially through the courts.
4. Interseccionalidad de las Desigualdades.
La desigualdad de género no existe de forma aislada; se cruza y se exacerba con otras formas de discriminación como el racismo, el clasismo y la discriminación por orientación sexual o discapacidad, creando barreras únicas para las mujeres marginadas.
- Economic inequality inordinately affects women and marginalized communities. If you dont talk to me about how all these issues intersect, youre not able to form a coalition that sees the bigger picture.
- You cannot get rid of gender inequality without getting rid of racial inequality.
- Intersectional feminism is a prism for seeing the way in which various forms of inequality often operate together and exacerbate each other.
- Black and indigenous women, trans and queer youth, women with disabilities, girls in rural areas are living at the sharpest intersections of inequality bearing the full weight of todays crises.
5. Llamado a la Acción y Soluciones.
Para lograr una verdadera igualdad, se requiere una acción urgente y sistémica que desmantele las estructuras patriarcales y capitalistas, amplifique las voces de las mujeres y promueva la participación activa de hombres y niños como aliados.
- Women need to take charge and put an end to all inequality.
- Gender equality is a fundamental right, but women cant achieve it alone. Men and boys must be active allies in dismantling the systems that fuel inequality.
- Creating true gender balance means amplifying womens voices, sharing power, and ensuring equality in every space.
- We need to ask why there hasnt been much change to advance womens human rights and end injustice? the answer is clear. Its because structural causes of marginalization and inequality remain unaddressed.
