| Sumario: | Despite the many international human rights declarations affirming the
equality of men and women, and the techno-scientific accomplishments of
humanity, in many non-Western societies and indigenous cultures there are still
much discrimination against women. The discrimination and violence against
women on the basis of their sex and their being perceived as subservient to men
by some cultures, societies and persons are morally unacceptable.
Discrimination and violence against women are wrong for they offend against
the ontological status of women as human beings; violate their human dignity/
rights as persons. The arguments that some persons have used to treat women
as unequal to men are flawed. It is an issue of morality for it speaks of how
human beings should act. This paper uses a critical analytic, hermeneutics and
evaluative methods to examine the issues. The issues of gender equality will be
dissected and interrogated. The value in gender equality through all these
methods will be highlighted. The paper finds that there are gender inequalities
still prevalent in some parts of the world. The paper concludes that all societies,
cultures and persons have a moral duty to struggle against gender inequalities.
This will help to create a more harmonious world. |
