equality of sexes
Same rights regardless
Equality of sexes is the principle that men and women should have the same rights, opportunities, and treatment in society.
The phrase appears in legal and political contexts—constitutions, treaties, policy debates: The constitution guarantees equality of the sexes.
It overlaps with gender equality but emphasizes the binary of male and female rather than broader gender categories.
