Gender Equality


It might be hard to imagine, but currently, some still consider women ignorant, worthless beings born to be at men’s disposal. Of course this impression is not true; however, countless women, with their basic rights unrecognized, have already spent their entire lives living under men’s rule. Discrimination toward females leads to poverty, abuse, and violence, but despite such serious consequences, many in the world today continue to tolerate gender inequality and regard it as a righteous practice. In order to achieve peace and social advancement, gender equality is essential. People must stand up for equal gender rights so that one day, women will be able emerge from the darkness and enjoy the freedom they dream of.
