It is essential to recognise that the road to equality for women has been long and strewn with obstacles. From abstract equality, proclaimed in laws and official speeches, to gendered equality, concrete in facts and mentalities, there is still a long way to go. Initially, the concept of equality in women's law was abstract. It was based on general principles of non-discrimination without regard to gender differences. Over time, there has been an evolution towards a more gendered conception of equality. This means taking into account the specificities linked to gender when applying the principles of equality. Gender equality means recognising the concrete differences and inequalities experienced by women and men. This translates into measures and policies aimed at correcting existing gender inequalities.
