1. Gender:
•Gender is a social construction relating to behaviors
and attributes based on labels of masculinity and femininity;
•Gender identity is a personal, internal perception of
oneself and so the gender category someone identifies with may not match the
sex they were assigned at birth
•Gender identity differs from sexual identity and is not
related to an individual’s sexual orientation. As such, the gender category
with which a person identifies may not match the sex they were assigned at
birth.

biologically defined, whereas gender is based on socially constructed features.
•Sex refers to the biological aspects of an individual as
determined by their anatomy, which is produced by their chromosomes, hormones
and their interactions.

The
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal set of goals, underpinned
by targets and indicators. They seek to eradicate inequalities, ensuring that
no one is left behind.
•In
the SDGs, the goals and targets tend to refer to gender, for example, “Goal 5: Gender equality” and “Target 4.a: Build and upgrade education facilities that
are child, disability and gender sensitive and provide safe, non-violent,
inclusive and effective learning environments for all”.
•To
meet the main principle of the SDGs is to “leave no one behind”. Each of these
indicators are to be broken down, where relevant, by eight characteristics
required by the United Nations (UN).
