#2 Equality of All Genders

Ensure equality of all genders and gender-sensitive approaches in all areas of life of a young person.

Gender-based discrimination still affects many young people, especially young women. Equal opportunities and access to rights need to be ensured for young people of all genders including non-binary and LGBTQI+ young people.

Goals:

Tackle discrimination and ensure equal rights for all genders in cultural, political and socio-economical life.
Achieve universal awareness of gender-based inequality and discrimination, particularly in the media.
End gender-based violence by addressing and tackling it effectively in all its forms.
Eliminate stereotypical gender roles and embrace diverse gender identities in education systems, family life, the workplace, and other areas of life.
End gender-based structural discrimination in the labour market and ensure equal rights, access and opportunities.
Ensure equal pay for equal work and the equal sharing of the responsibilities of care work.
Ensure equal access to formal and non-formal education, and that the design of education systems follows gender-sensitive approaches.
