| Summary: | This paper aims at showing the complexity of gender inequality both at global and our cultural level, using data from complementary sources and research areas, and taking the ancestral inequality in the sharing of power in the different paths of life as the main explanatory hypothesis of such inequality. The educational, professional and social inferiority situation of women is both a cause and a consequence of such inequalities. Introducing the gender perspective in the social systems seems to be the best way forward to achieve equity, necessary for sustainable development, knowledge advance and democratic development. It is also an imperative for the legislation of developed countries and a priority of the Millenium Development Goals and of Education for All. |
