Gender Inequality

 VIII  Gender inequality is not a women's issue, it's a human rights violation. The Covid19
     pandemic has unleashed one of the worst humanitarian crises, and unfortunately, women
     globally have been worst hit both emotionally as well as economically. As we recover from
     these unprecedented times, it has become even more urgent to encourage ourselves in
 B   shaping a more equitable, inclusive, and diverse world.
     If we want a gender-equal world, men and boys must become an integral part of the
     struggle to end gender inequality. We can advance the cause of gender equality by making
     men more responsible in their behavior on how to treat women both at home and at the
     workplace. Men must encourage other men to end gender-based violence and sexual
     harassment. At the same time, boys and men need to understand that women do not
     need our protection, but instead, they are looking for a partnership to make this a more
     gender-equal world.
     I dream of living in a world, where men stand in solidarity with women to create a bold and
     united front for gender equality. I hope to live in a world that is safe for all girls and
     children; a world where both boys and girls have the same opportunities to fullfil their
     dreams; a world where there are no biases against any gender. We together can initiate
     change in the world. The time for change is NOW.
 Gender Equality                                             Varun Bakshi
 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.
