Abstract
Achieving gender equality means the equal enjoyment of rights, opportunities, resources and rewards by women and men. Women and men do not play identical roles in any society, nor do they have equal access to education, work, career opportunities, and economic resources. In most instances, political and economic leadership and economic benefits are also unequally shared, which leads to gender disparities in the enjoyment of benefits from economic and social development. Gender statistics capture these specific realities in the lives of women and men through sex-disaggregated data, i.e., the data pertaining specifically to women and men that reflect specific gender issues.
