Gender Equality and the Law One of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s primary goals of the Women’s Rights Project’s litigation was to prove that stereotypical treatment of gender under the law was unconstitutional.

Gender equality is supposed be a human right, but the world faces a never-ending access to decision-making power for women. Gender equality means that men and women have equal power and equal opportunities for financial independence, education, and personal development. Each year, the World Economic Forum conducts a study that benchmarks the gender gap in around
"A woman is human. She is not better, wiser, stronger, more intelligent, more creative, or more responsible than a man. Likewise, she is never less. Equality is a given. A woman is human.” Vera Nazarian said. Nowadays, gender equality becomes a popular topic; however, the rootstock of inequality between men and women took root since several years ago even in fiction.

Blatantly sexist laws and practices are slowly being eliminated while social perceptions of "women's roles" continue to stagnate and even degrade back to traditional ideals.

institutions. Gender inequality is defined as unequal treatment or perceptions of individuals based on gender. This has been seen for many decades now, revolving mainly against women. Throughout history to even today, men have always been seen as the stronger, faster, and harder working gender as opposed to women.

Gender Equality in Sports “All men are created equal” is a quote by Thomas Jefferson stated in the Declaration of Independence that has traveled through many centuries and is still memorable today. What this phrase is missing is equal rights for women as well as men. Since this quote was written, times have changed drastically and women have acquired these rights.

Gender Equality in Sports Literature Review Gender equality is defined as the act of treating men and women equally on all levels. When this gender equality is thrown into discussion with our continuously growing sports culture, it raises many concerns (Lyras 2009).

Today women are gaining equality, however a gender wage gap stills persists. Women are now holding jobs that were once only held by men.

Laws have been established to protect women from any form of inequality, to ensure

During the 1800s-1900s female athletes and students were considered less than men. They did not have the same equality as men! Title IX was made to correct these imbalances.

condoning it as if that was ok. Yes, my approach was strong, but I truly believe we live in a world full of double standards, making it a little difficult to live under some circumstances. I feel outraged and disappointed that there isn’t much gender equality out there, but there are feminists and meninists, which I believe isn’t a real thing due to how extreme these people get.

It was not until the 19th and 20th centuries that women have pushed to make their rights on the same level as men.
