Gender Inequality

Gender inequality is real. Did you know that the world over, violence on gender is one of

the leading causes of deaths and disabilities among females? It is more shocking because it kills

more than cancer, road accidents, war and malaria. Inequality research is a broad aspect that

cannot be exhausted. It has been researched world over by different researchers and

recommendations issued but it is still thriving in today’s world. Even though there are

inequalities and injustices to the male gender, the female gender has suffered more and is still

suffering bias in different aspects of life. Different statistics as found in the Oxfam New Zealand

website indicates that about 60% of the world’s hungry people are female (women and girls) and

about 2/3 of all children who are denied education are girls with over 876million of the world’s

population being illiterate women.

2 GENDER INEQUALITY

Regarding political and leadership positions, women hold about 21% of the parliamentary

seats and 6% own the ministerial posts. Other areas that inequalities thrive in women are

violence, negligence, poor healthcare services especially during childbirth and expectancy

among other injustices. Due to such shocking statistics, there is a need for continued research on

this topic until such a time when every part of the world has realized at least a reasonable

percentage of equal opportunities and treatment to both males and females.

This project seeks to answer the question; should men and women be treated as equals?

This will be achieved by thoroughly researching and coming up with recommendation based on

this thesis statement; While Women can never equal Men, gender equality should be encouraged

to empower the female gender and contribute positively to wellbeing of all people because an

empowered female gender would lead to a better world. It would greatly impact the economy

positively and all people desire equal treatment irrespective of their gender.

them safe housing, adequate nutrition, affordable healthcare, good education and

financial freedom.

This piece is important for my project because it will help me understand how poverty is

a social inequality and why it should be tackled if at all we are to win the fight against

poverty in the world.

Berman, Y., Eshel, B.-J., & Yoash , S. (2016). The Dynamics of Wealth Inequality and the Effect

of Income Distribution. PLOS.

Berman et al talks about the shocking news about the increasing wealth inequality in the

recent years. The research titled The Dynamics of Wealth Inequality and the Effect of

Income Distribution aims at researching about the underlying causes of such inequalities

upon which their findings can be used by policy makers and other stakeholders to control

and reverse the alarming trend. The research is uses a theoretical approach that is aimed

at showing the contributing factors and how they have affected the wealth and income

inequality. It is an article that deals with one specific issue of inequality and how it can

best be dealt with.

I find it useful to my project because it will help me understand how wealth inequality

has come about and what is not being done right to reverse the trend despite

recommendations by scholars and other researchers in the same field. The researchers are

credible and therefore using their information as a source for my project makes it credible

as well.

4 GENDER INEQUALITY

This is a site that has been tackling inequality related research stories for over two

decades. It has been a source of news for different stakeholders among them researchers,

activists, and journalists. It deals with policy studies and provides insights on how best to

understand the inequalities in the world and how we can best alleviate such inequalities.

It highlights inequalities like gender income gaps, gender wealth gaps, gender poverty

gaps, transgender economic gaps among others. For each type of inequality, statistical

information is provided.

This source will be crucial for my project because it gives details about different

inequalities in the world especially among the discriminated gender and also give

statistical data on the same. This is crucial information for me because it will make me

better understand where the world stands in the fight against inequality. It will also help

me get scientific backing on the rates of inequalities in the world today and this is crucial

information for any researcher.

end product of such inequalities among them being crime, diseases and economic

degradation. The article also talks about the need for every person to fight inequality

indirect. The article also gives recommendations on what can be done in dealing with this

societal issue of inequality across the globe.

The article is of importance to me because it talks about the inequalities I intend to focus

on in my project and this article will help me in getting the desired insights and data on

the same. It will help me understand the different stakeholders needed in the fight against

inequality and the best ways to approach them on this issue. UN being a globally

recognized body especially in the advocacy to humanity and human well-being is a great

source of information for every researcher dealing with issues that are part of their core

values.

The social evils series. (2008). Five types of inequality. The social evils series.

This is a journal article that talks about the five types of inequalities in our society today.

Found in the website named The social evils series, found in the JRF’s website and

authored by Ferdinand Mount, these social evils are centered on inequality and the

discussion seeks on informing the public on how to rectify these types of inequalities.

Article focuses on Britain and shows how such inequalities have led to more damage

rather than good to the country. These inequalities revolve around the politics, outcomes,

opportunities, treatment and social belonging. According to the author, the inequalities

have created a world divided between “uppers” and “lowers”. The author explains in

details about each kind of inequality and a the end of the article he gives his view point

about why these inequalities must be fought.

This source of information becomes crucial to my project as it is well detailed and

includes other kinds of inequalities not found in the other sources annotated herein. It
