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.

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".
