Gender equality

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Gender equality is a topic that is normally heavily discussed in the work place or in society as a whole. I chose this article because I find it a topic that is important and has meaning to anyone in a work place. It's also important to any situation where gender could possibly play a factor into which one is held to a higher standard of level or respect. My preliminary impression was that the article on its face was set up properly and had a good flow. it read like steps or an order. It covers many topics roughly the same amount of information in each section.

Evaluate the article
The lead of this article is clear and gives a definition of what gender equality is and what it is used for. The only thing that was not included in the lead was a mention of this history which has its own section within the article. All other things mentioned in the lead are included in the article itself. The lead set up a good basis for the article and information included. The article stayed true to the topic and was relevant with the time it did include a history portion pertaining to the history of gender equality as well as gender equality across the world. It does include sections that discuss dates such as years including information from 2018 and 2020 making it up to date. Some continent that could be considered missing is the feminist movement that happened in America with the right to vote. As well as gender equality when it comes to the LGBTQ+ community where in the article it only discusses transgender woman but leaves out transgender men or nonbinary people. The article does discuss topics related to underrepresented populations. It discusses the gender equality gap in other countries that would be considered underrepresented or undeveloped and what is affecting them as well as what the women are subject to there. It discusses the issue of gender equality and it being more centered to the western world rather than countries that are underdeveloped. The article holds a neutral tone and point of view and just states the facts and how gender equality is around the world and where there is gender equality has bigger gaps around the world. Nothing seems to have a particular bias other than the focus of gender equality being focused more on the women's side or perspective and what they endure. Some points made about other countries may be perceived as underrepresented in the fact that some information is more well known than things that could also be going on in that country that just isn't represented as equally or just isn't as public as other information. Going through and clicking on a few of the different sources provided in the citations it seems that the article used reliable sources that present facts. Looking at the sources there does seem to be sources that come from America but also sources that come from Europe, and Nordic countries. Though there are sources that come from other countries it does seem that there are more sources from the Western world than underdeveloped countries. The article is written clearly and it has an even flow, the information is set up in a clear way and each section is broken down in a way that is understandable. All images used in are cited correctly and are placed in the article that help make the information clear or helps visualize the information provided. The images contribute to the article by also adding information in images that are graphs. Currently for this article the talk page is unavailable. The article does a good job at keeping an even consistent flow throughout. One thing that the article could use is more information on men, transgender men, and non binary people to make sure that it covers gender equality in those communities or what prevents them from having gender equality. This is only important since the article includes a section on transgender women. Overall the article is well developed, the citations are correct, it uses images in the right place, and does not include any persuasion.
