Steemit Engagement Challenge Season-19/ Week-5 | " Why is gender equality necessary? "
I'm happy to join the Steemit Engagement Challenge Season-19, Week-5. This week's topic is "Why is gender equality necessary?" It's an important issue that affects us all, and I'm excited to share my thoughts on why gender equality matters. So let's start.
What Does Gender Equality Entail, and What Are the Advantages?
Gender equality means treating men and women equally in all aspects of life. In today’s world, women are working alongside men in almost every job. It's important for both men and women to have the same educational opportunities because this era is about development, not staying uneducated.
Women should have the right to choose their careers and should be given the same opportunities as men. For example, in government jobs, there should be reserved seats for women so they can also contribute to the country and be independent. Women should be able to make their own choices and not be seen as lesser.
The advantages of gender equality are clear. When women have equal opportunities, they can contribute significantly to the economy and society. It creates a fair and just society where everyone has a chance to succeed, regardless of their gender.
However, in many cases, women still face issues, such as being paid less than men for the same work, like at my college where female teachers are paid less than male teachers despite having the same workload.
Is Gender Equality Crucial for All People, Not Just Women?
Yes, gender equality is important for everyone, not just women. While men often hold more power, they also can be affected by gender norms. In our country, although many men have power, women often do not get their rightful share in areas like inheritance.
Despite our Islam granting women the right to inherit, many men do not give women their share, and women, out of fear, often do not claim their rights.
Education is crucial in addressing this. Many people in our country are still uneducated and unaware of gender equality. Even when women know their rights, they might not be able to claim them.
Female teachers at my college are paid less than male teachers despite teaching the same number of classes. This shows that gender equality is still lacking and needs to be addressed.
What Are Your Thoughts on Gender Equality, Specifically Concerning the Circumstances in Your Country?
In our country, conditions have improved over recent years with new laws promoting gender equality. Women are given more opportunities for education and career growth. However, challenges remain.
Many women still do not receive their fair share of inheritance, despite what Islam prescribes. The problem is compounded by widespread lack of education.
In some areas, traditional beliefs still hold, such as the idea that women should only handle household tasks while men work outside. However, many women now balance both jobs and household responsibilities.
Despite their efforts, women often still do not receive equal respect or help, showing that full gender equality has not yet been achieved.
How to Educate Our Children to Understand This Issue?
We should start teaching children about gender equality from a young age. In our society, girls are often told to stay at home and play quietly, while boys are encouraged to be strong and independent. This mindset needs to change.
We should teach girls that they are just as strong and capable as boys and that they can achieve their goals. Boys should also be taught that girls are not lesser and that everyone deserves equal respect and opportunities, regardless of gender.

Tal como señala, aunque en su país la igualdad de género ha avanzado bastante, todavía quedan muchos factores que se deben resolver y que son muy importantes para erradicar definitivamente la discriminación a la mujer, sobre todo. No puede ser que las profesoras cobren menos que los docentes masculinos, por ejemplo, aun cuando realizan el mismo trabajo, que los hombres les escamoteen a las féminas la herencia que por derecho y ley les corresponde o que todavía persista la idea de que la mujer debe estar en casa y depender en todo del marido. Todas estas manifestaciones deben desaparecer para que la sociedad sea más equitativa y todos contribuyan al progreso de la nación. Éxitos, amiga. Saludos.
Thank you for your comment. I agree that there are still many challenges to achieving true gender equality. Issues like wage disparities and persistent stereotypes need to be addressed.
I hope that over time we can see positive changes in these areas and move towards a fairer society for everyone.🤗💞🌸
