Abstract

Thousands of years ago, the emergence of patrilineal society replaced the matriarchal society, and humans have lived under this social system ever since. Although Darwin’s theory of evolution and many scholars believe that this change is a symbol of human progress, with the continuous progress of human civilization, the patrilineal social system that is almost equal to the history of mankind is being overthrown by the torrent of the times. With the perseverance of the past few generations, people can clearly feel that the status of women is constantly improving, and the boundaries between the sexes are continuously blurring. But in some areas and regions, the movement appears to have reached a dead end. This article quantifies the achievements of the gender equality movement in the global region over the past few decades from the data level and indicates the areas we still have work to do through data analysis. Starting from data processing, the author first showed the current situation of gender equality, then proposed the concept of closing the loop on gender equality issues, and analyzed the efforts made by human beings in the gender equality movement since 2000 from the aspects of health, education and work and existing problems. Finally, this paper analyzes the gaps in the movement in various regions. Undoubtedly, affirmative action movements of gender in various countries and regions are making progress in line with local characteristics. However, in contrast, some fields have not made significant progress due to special historical and cultural reasons.
