Gender is a social concept which is connected to biology. Gender is a wide set of characteristics that are seen to distinguish between male and female. It can extend from sex to social role or gender identity. Gender is an integral dimension of social stratification. It is right to say that Gender is “The State of being male or female, typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones.” Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right but also essential for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. Gender equality is when people of all gender have equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities. Men and women both have equal rights and equal opportunities related to financial independence, personal development, education and social development. Gender Equality 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 behaviours, aspirations and needs equally, regardless of gender. In it, roles and responsibilities should not be pre decided for males or females to establish gender equality. Gender equality is the outcome. Equality is applied and distributed equally. It helps in eliminating gender disparities in all levels of education and achieving gender equality in education. It focuses on girls' full access to and achievement in basic education of good quality. Gender equality is also known as sex equality, gender egalitarianism, sexual equality or equality of the genders is the view that both men and women should receive equal treatment and not to be discriminated against based on their gender. It helps in elimination of all forms of violence against all women and girls in public and private sphere, including trafficking and other types of exploitations. Various Institutions like family, caste, religion, culture, media, law and state play an important role in creating gender equality. Gender Equality is goal number 5 of Sustainable Development Goals, for which UN resolution has set some targets and which is decided to be achieved by 2030.
