People play different
roles in life, which are regulated by socially constructed rules that establish
ways of being and feeling, speaking and thinking. One such role that of gender,
has historically placed women in a position of exclusion and subordination.
These inequalities based on gender persist in practically all spheres of life.
In almost all areas and fields, the variables of sex, sexual orientation,
gender identity and gender expression explain the significant differences in
access to resources, decision-making structures, and enjoyment of rights and
responsibilities by women, men, and other gender identities.
