HeForShe: men participating in the movement
against gender equality
written by Rhianna Carrasco and Tirza Janse
Examples of gender inequality
Gender inequalities and biases are imbued in
cultures all over the globe. The movement
against gender inequality was originally seen as
something by women for women. This had to do
with the fact that, in many cultures, women felt
inferior to men and were suppressed by them.
In the fifties of the last century, it was common
in many countries across Western Europe, that
women had to quit their job as soon as they got
married. They had to clean the house and take
care of their children, while their husbands were
making money. In fact, until the late fifties of
the last century, even the Dutch law stipulated
that married women had to stay at home. Thus,
it was highly uncommon for a girl to go to
university. Girls were expected to marry, have
children, and stay at home, so why did they
want to go to university, in the first place?
In the present days, many countries are familiar
with the phenomenon of underpayment. Men
usually get higher paid than women. This could
be because women often work part-time and
typical female occupations are seen as less
important,
than
male
occupations.
