Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS

igualdad de género: [No confundir los términos "igualdad de género" y "equidad de género"] En teoría, "equidad" e "igualdad" son dos principios estrechamente relacionados, pero distintos. La "equidad" introduce un principio ético o de justicia en la igualdad. [...] El concepto de "igualdad de género" parte de la idea de que todas y todos somos iguales en derechos y oportunidades. La "igualdad" es una meta a conseguir. [...] Por "equidad de género" se entiende el trato imparcial entre mujeres y hombres, de acuerdo a sus necesidades respectivas, ya sea con un trato equitativo o con uno diferenciado pero que se considera equivalente en lo que se refiere a los derechos, los beneficios, las obligaciones y las posibilidades. 4, record 1, Spanish, - igualdad%20de%20g%C3%A9nero

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS

La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que los términos "género" y "sexo" designan, en la lengua general, realidades distintas: "género" se refiere a la categoría gramatical de las palabras y "sexo" alude a la condición de los seres vivos por la que se distingue el macho de la hembra. Por otra parte, en sociología, tal como aclara el "Diccionario panhispánico de dudas", el vocablo género tiene el significado de ‘categoría sociocultural que implica diferencias o desigualdades de índole social, económica, política, laboral, etc.’, un sentido que en el ámbito de los estudios sociológicos puede resultar útil e, incluso, necesario. 5, record 1, Spanish, - igualdad%20de%20g%C3%A9nero
