PRESENTATION OUTLINE
WHY GENDER EQUALITY
SHOULD BE PROMOTTED
"I don't think people should have boundaries put on them, by themselves or by society or even by another gender, because it's our birthright to experience life in whatever way we feel best suits us."
-Swank, 2014
"Gender equality is more than a goal itself. It is a precondition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable development and building good good governance."
- Kofi, 2006
"We act as if the being of a man or the being of a woman is actually an internal reality or something that is simply true about us, a fact about us, but actually it's a phenomenon that is being produced all the time, so to say that gender is performative is to say that nobody really is a gender from the start."
-Butler, 2011
