GENDER EQUALITY CONDITION FOR HUMAN SECURITY
GENDER EQUALITY CONDITION FOR HUMAN SECURITY

Summary/Abstract: Since ancient times humanity knows rivalries and contradictions related to the lure of power to dominate. Human security is jeopardized by the degrading, inhuman actions made by the people who are around us. The concept of today human security knows a new dimension, gender equal opportunities, without ruling out classical dangers and threats. Equality is based on ensuring full participation of all persons to economic and social life irrespective of ethnic origin, gender, religion, age, disability or sexual orientation. Inevitably, when we talk about equal opportunities, unfortunately, in discussion appears the phenomenon of discrimination and social conduct. Discrimination is in fact one of the reasons why equality is not respected as a guiding principle. This paper aims to make an inventory of the main differences in cultural stereotypes that promote gender diverse, different social roles of men compared to women who may be generating human insecurity.
