Gender equality, also known as gender equity, sex equality, gender egalitarianism, sexual equality, or equality of the genders, is the view that both men and women should receive equal treatment and not be discriminated against based on their gender. This is the objective of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Wikipedia (2016/05/27)

At this point, it seems natural to make the jump to non-discrimination for life style in general, beliefs and eventually race. In other words, gender equality might pave the way to non-discrimination in general.
