     Gender is not a choice, so why do we punish people for it? Gender inequality is an issue plaguing our world.
     It is not just a fight for women, but a fight for equality. We want our world to be a developed, beautiful place,                                                                                                               Milee Jain
     but will that be possible if we ignore half the population of the world? Men claim to be more superior than
     women, but a woman is as capable as a man. It is a fight for equality, women getting the same rights as men.                                                                 Gender inequality is not a female fight,
     We are all equal. Gender is a small distinction, yet it has been made such a huge barrier. If both men and                                                                  it is a human fight!
     women work together, they can combine all their strengths and take the world to a new peak. Neither men,
     nor women should feel inferior, both genders are equal. Only then will the world be a fair place.                                                                           It is undeniable that gender bias exists in different forms all around the globe.
