Gender-based inequality is one of the most enduring and deep-seated discriminations. It affects all regions, classes and sectors. In most countries, it is maintained and defended in most of the same ways. One key component of that maintenance is a set of myths that are repeated time and time again.
This pocket-size booklet includes:
- Why thinking about women’s rights matters
- 10 short myths about progress on equality, who benefits from feminism, the realities of women’s health and the impact of COVID-19.
- Links to the Sustainable Development Goals
- References per each myth following a fact or fiction approach and an explainer
