Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities


Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities



            Discrimination towards women and girls, or what is known as gender-based discrimination, is one of the most pervasive human rights violations. It severely limits the ability of women, girls and the communities they live in to protect and promote their health. In our community today, we can see females doing the work of males and vice versa. This proves that, women can do whatever men can do.
            We might have heard our grandparents telling stories about how they were treated before, especially our grandmothers. They would say that when they were young like us, they would just stay in their houses and do the household chores. They were not allowed to go out and do some gallivanting. They were just inside their houses like prisoners inside the jail.
            Equal rights, equal opportunities. This is what women want in their whole life---- to be treated normal. Normal in such a way that they will feel accepted and not discriminated. They will feel freedom. They can show their talents and be a part of the history.
            Having equality can make our country progressive. For both women and men can contribute in this progress.
