Which term best captures the aim of achieving equal opportunities in education, employment, voting, and health access for men and women?

• A. Gender equality
• B. Progressivism
• C. Gender parity
• D. Feminization

Answer: (D)

This question targets understanding of what term best describes creating equal opportunities for men and women across education, work, voting, and health. The best fit is gender equality, which means people of all genders have the same rights, opportunities, and access to services, without discrimination. Feminization describes a trend of increasing participation or presence of women in a field, which is about outcomes in a specific area rather than the overarching aim of equal opportunity. Progressivism is a political ideology, not a term for equality of opportunities. Gender parity can imply equal representation or numerical balance, but the broader and more foundational idea covering rights and opportunities across multiple life domains is gender equality.
