Gender - a definition
Gender is a culturally defined set of economic, social and political roles, responsibilities, rights and entitlements and obligations associated with being female and male, as well as the power relations between and among women and men, girls and boys.
What is the first thing we look at when a baby is born – maybe even before counting fingers and toes – is it boy or girl? Different expectations. We talk differently to boys and girls from the start. Different expectations. Different structural hindrances for both sexes. Stereotypes that can hinder us from developing our full potential – professionally, as parents or citizens - or result in that our rights are being violated, or that we are being victims of different kinds of fysical or psychological violence.

Gender statistics and indicators
Sex-aggregated data contributes to a deeper understanding of respective roles and power distribution between men and women.
This constitutes an important basis for overcoming stereotypes and misrepresentations and can help us find ways to work in a more effective way in the future.
Not only gender!
