subtitle-10720-15800-2"“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights”."
subtitle-16239-18560-3"But while this is a great principle,"
subtitle-18960-21480-4"the reality proves to be quite different:"

subtitle-26640-30440-6"Some people have plenty of capacities and resources."

subtitle-40840-44320-10"is not the only cause of inequality between people."
subtitle-45520-49200-11"Gender norms, for example, are unwritten rules"

subtitle-53080-56000-13"from early childhood throughout their lives,"
subtitle-56000-60400-14"causing deep inequalities between men and women."
subtitle-60600-67480-15"Because of gender norms in fact, men and women are assigned different roles in society."
subtitle-67960-73080-16"Women are expected to take care of the family and of the household labour,"
subtitle-73480-78280-17"while men are meant to earn income and to be the ultimate decision-maker."
subtitle-78720-82240-18"Men’s tasks are performed in the public as paid labour."
subtitle-82800-89360-19"Instead, women’s tasks are mainly restricted within the private sphere of the family as unpaid work."

subtitle-94160-97720-21"paid work provide men with power and status,"
subtitle-97720-101800-22"while unpaid work is undervalued by society"
subtitle-101800-105360-23"and makes women’s social contribution invisible."
subtitle-105960-112040-24"Gender ideologies and rules are social norms that limit women’s opportunities"
subtitle-112040-115920-25"and contribute to keep in place gender inequality."
subtitle-116560-122760-26"When a woman has no access to education, work and economic independence,"
subtitle-122760-127120-27"marriage is often her only chance to access resources."

subtitle-140000-144440-31"but to ensure them marriageability and access to resources."
subtitle-144760-150280-32"This is why Female Genital Mutilation is still prevalent in many countries,"
subtitle-150280-154640-33"despite the harmful consequences on girls and women."
subtitle-155200-157640-34"When gender norms are at stake,"
subtitle-157640-163320-35"violence against women and girls can be perceived as normal and acceptable."
subtitle-163680-168640-36"Understanding how gender norms perpetuate violence against women"
subtitle-168640-171520-37"is crucial in achieving gender equality."
subtitle-172320-176160-38"Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right,"
subtitle-176560-181400-39"but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and fair world."
