Key terminology

Gender refers to the socially constructed identities, attributes and roles of persons in relation to their sex and the social and cultural meanings attached to biological differences based on sex. The meaning of such socially constructed identities, attributes and roles varies across societies, communities and groups and over time. This often results in hierarchical relationships between women and men and an unequal distribution of power and rights, favouring men and disadvantaging women and affecting all members of society. The social positioning of women and men is affected by political, economic, cultural, social, religious, ideological and environmental factors.
