EQUAL RIGHTS, EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES


                     Gender equality and women’s empowerment is fundamental to the global mission of the United Nations to achieve equal rights and dignity for all. But equality for women and girls is also an economic and social imperative. Until women and girls are liberated from poverty and injustice, all our goals, peace, security, sustainable development stands in jeopardy.
                      Ever thought about a situation where your gender ruled what would happen to you? In these days, gender is not so much of a problem. However, gender discrimination was a huge deal not too long ago. Women didn't exactly have all the rights that they do now, they lived in harsh times, governments never thought twice about their opinion, and were looked down upon. However, many women have taken a stand against this, and have changed the way women are viewed upon. This time men and women are now equal in rights. Everything is equal, the best example is work. What a man can do, a woman can do it also. Like our country, our president. This is the best example of equality. I can say that, women are not weak, they can also do what a man can do. Women have the opportunity to prove herself that they are brave to face the challenges.
                          Discrimination is one of the problems of women. But this time, everything is equal. We have the equal rights, and equal opportunity to prove that there is no discrimination in our country.
