Gender Equality: It does not necessarily mean equal numbers of women and men or girls and boys in all activities, nor does it mean treating women and men or boys and girls exactly the same, gender equality means recognizing that women and men/ girls and boys often have different priorities and needs, face different constrains, and contribute to private and public spheres in different ways. Women participation/ representation: as stated above, women’s participation and representation are essential for self-development and empowerment, but should not necessarily be perceived as a physical type of presence. Recognizing various issues and concerns that women and men experience differently is very key (e.g. if a man and a woman compete in one position, and if the latter is selected, she might not take up the position if there is no childcare available).
