Human Rights and Constitutional Provisions for Gender Equality and Equity | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

Gender equality is at the heart of human rights law. It is one of the pillars of the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Development, and it is deemed essential to all areas of development. Gender equality implies that women, men, and transgender individuals have equal access to education, healthcare, economic resources, employment, leadership positions, involvement in political life and decision-making, and a role in the economic, political, and social growth of a nation. Gender equality signifies that the needs and interests of women, men, and transgender people are taken into account, and that everyone is free to make their own decisions without regard to social conventions or biases regarding gender roles. Men and women have equal rights, yet there is still a gap that impacts people in different nations to differing degrees throughout the world. It is women and transgender people who bear the brunt of this discrepancy. As a result of the growing awareness of gender problems, transgender people's gender inequities are now being emphasised. Transgender persons are denied their basic human rights as a result of patriarchal societal standards. This is a big roadblock in the way of the sustainable growth that we all desire. India's gender equality is examined in this research. That said, there's a long way to go even though this is changing in many areas of the world. Despite India's progress and economic growth, gender inequality is still a major problem in the country.... From an early age, teaching youngsters about the need of gender equality may have a good impact. To truly achieve gender equality, it is necessary to have an integrated strategy that includes women, transgender people, and men working side by side.
