DEFINITION: Gender Empowerment Measure (GEM). The GEM measures the participation of women and men in political decision-making. This index also has four indicators: female members of the Legislature, female participation in selected positions in public and private sector, female participation in academic and technical work, and estimated income. Both indexes are based on data collected by the UN and are processed to enable comparison.

Dear all gender activists, it looks developmental when women and men join hands to promote the issue of gender empowerment. it does not mean , women are changing to be men!women remain women with a biggest concern and grief to lobby men to understand what they want.we are all human beings with feelings, with red blood regardless of race, religion and gender.

As an activist, I cherish men who participate in taking care of the sick babies, go for antenatal visits with their wives,encourage women upgrading and participation in all spheres of live. It is weird for a man to pretend to be supportive to women in public in the name of protecting their image, it is like is no difference with the killer virus. We as women shall not treat men like second hand citizens, those who dare do it shall be corrected.
Please promote gender empowerment and it starts from "HOME".

Kathy, I agree with everything you said but even more important, I showed this to my husband's brother and my two brothers and they all agreed with everything you said. I did ask them if they did mean everything, including "far superior to her male counterparts " and each of them said yes, there is too much evidence to show it is a fact. In fact several of my male co workers said no way when in public, but many of them did tell me that they did that only to protect their image but that they too did realize women are superior to males overall. I think you are right, even most males know it.

We should not have to "empower women to do what we should have been doing along but in our male oriented society would not want anyone to know that women are far superior to her male counterparts would we although I do believe almost every woman knows it and in reality, most males know it too but will not admit that women are superior to the males. Our world will be a lot better off when women are in control. I am sure we will not treat the males like 2nd class citizens as we have been treated.
