Gender equality is when people of all genders have equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities. Equality is achieved when people are treated the same, regardless of what they look like, their gender, or sexual orientation.

Gender equality can be understood a little better by looking at gender roles. Gender roles are customs and behaviors learned by a person as appropriate to their gender. Gender roles in society tell us how we are expected to act, speak, dress, groom, and conduct ourselves based upon our gender. For example, some cultures deem as appropriate for boys to wear blue, and girls should wear pink at birth. These are gender roles.

Gender inequality arises when one group is seen in society as having more rights than the other.
