    GENDER FAIR SOCIETY

    Women and men are empowered to act on their own and to realize their full
    potentials.

    Under the Philippine Plan for Gender Responsive Development, the following are included
    as elements of a gender-fair society:

    Ø  Gender equality and equity

    Gender equality – both women and men are free to develop their personal abilities and
    make choices without limitations set by stereotypes, rigid gender roles and prejudices
    (Source: International Labor Organization).

    Gender equity – fairness of treatment for women and men, according to their respective
    needs. This may include equal treatment or treatment that is different but which is
    considered equivalent in terms of rights, benefits, obligations and opportunities. Equity is
    means; equality is the goal (Source: ILO).

    Ø  Women’s empowerment

    Women's empowerment has five components:  women's sense of self-worth; their right to


    have and to determine choices; their right to have access to opportunities and resources;
    their right to have the power to control their own lives, both within and outside the home;
    and their ability to influence the direction of social change to create a more just social and
    economic order, nationally and internationally (Source: United Nations).

    Ø  Sustainable Development

     
    Sustainable development means development that meets the needs of the present
    without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. (Source:
    United Nations)

    Ø  Peace and social justice

    Development of a culture of peace and non-violence.

    Ø  Self-determination at all levels

    Ø  Actualization of human potentials beyond basic needs

    For ever woman who is tires of acting weak when she knows she is strong;

    There is a man who is tired of appearing strong when he feels vulnerable.

    For every woman who is tired of acting dumb;

    There is a man who is burdened with the constant expectation of “knowing everything
    For every woman who takes a step toward her own liberation;

    There is a man who finds that the way to freedom has been made a little easier.
