It further highlights the full and equal participation of women in every segment of the social process without any discrimination or without considering sex - gender hierarchies.1 The legal frameworks of the international system and local political space is accepting of the normative values of gender equality and the eradication of gender-based discrimination.

These actions are driven by political, social and structural frameworks which have been accepted by the majoritarian societies in the liberal democratic world.
