Abstract

Gender causes biological differences between men and women. Regarding the concept of gender, it is defined as the role and responsibilities created in families, societies and cultures, which are thus deemed appropriate for women and men in a particular society at a certain time. That is, we are talking about expectations regarding the characteristics (features), attitudes and behavior. The obvious distinction between gender equality and sex equality does not allow identifying them, since the person is a biological and social being, and gender and gender can also be correlated. Since sex provides for the biological properties of man, and gender - social, namely the inextricable link with society. The concept of sex equality is not used at all in official sources of international organizations in the context of achieving gender equality and is not their subject of consideration. In our opinion, the following main causes of gender inequality can be identified as: religion, stereotypes, gender attitudes that are interrelated and complement each other, they are part of our life and in one way or another influence our behavior, shape our world view and have, as a positive meaning, as well as negative, the main thing is to realize it and, on the basis of a comprehensive study of a certain issue, form your position. In general, each person can be happy and self-sufficient in life, however, stereotypes imposed on us from birth hinder the all-round development of the personality, since they initially restrict the choice of "male" and "female" professions and t.d., i.e. gender-role stereotype, as well as gender attitudes, which are formed in the process of human development based on gender stereotypes, personal experience, guidance of parents, etc. and religious dogmas.
