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.

Remember to open your
paragraph with an
introduction that provides
your reader with a thesis
statement. In this opening

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.

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.

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.

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
