Hello friends,

I believe you are all doing great and well, and you are all enjoying this engagement challenge.

Well, you don't need to ask me because I am enjoying mine very well, the interaction and love I receive from my fellow steemians.

Here's another opportunity for me to relate with my friends on steemit and I am doing so my submitting this entry.

Today's topic promises to be interesting, please follow along as we begin our wonderful adventure.




HOW CAN YOU HELP YOUR COMMUNITY FORGE A GENDER-EQUAL WORLD?




This is a very brilliant question and before providing a befitting answer to this question, I will love to explain what gender equality means.

Gender equality can be explained as the act of viewing both genders equally, not making one superior over the other.

In some parts of the world, men are viewed as more superior to women, some culture even believes that women don't have the right to be educated since they will end up in their husbands house.

All these are gender inequality and shouldn't be encouraged anymore.

We shouldn't wait for gender equality to be practiced at top level, even at the lowest level gender equality should be practice.

In my explanation below, I will mention how I can help a community forge a gender equal world and I shall be relating some of my explanation to steemit:

  • ENTRUST BOTH GENDER WITH THE SAME ROLES:

One very important way that communities can promote gender equality is by entrusting both male and female gender with the same roles.

A good example is that displayed by the steemit team, they select both male and female steemians to function as community curators and country representative.

When you appoint them to the same roles, the male wouldn't see reasons to feel superior.

  • ASSIGN THEM TO POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY:

Yes, to promote a gender equal world, male and female should both be appointed to positions of authority.

In most nations, only the male are appointed position of authority, it shouldn't be so.

The female gender should also be appointed position of authority.




CAN CELEBRATING WOMEN'S INTERNATIONAL DAY INCREASE VISIBILITY AND EQUALITY?




It is not bad idea to celebrate our women on women's international day, as it will help to make them feel loved and special.

We cannot deny the fact that our women has assisted the men in so many ways and in achieving so many goals.

Nevertheless, i don't think the celebration of women international day can increase the equality of women to men.

Yes, it can help increase their visibility in our world but more is needed to increase their equality to men.




ARE THE FEMINISM FIGHT AND THE WOMEN'S RIGHTS FIGHT THE SAME?




Permit me to give a brief description of both fights so we can easily discern what they are.

Feminism fight can be explained to be a move aimed at puting an end to sexism, oppression and sexist exploitation and to achieve absolute gender equality in law and practice.

Women right fight is explained to be a fight against the inequality of the female gender.

A fight to ensure that the women exploits the same right as the men.

From the definition of both, it is seen that they both have the same interest at heart which is the equality of the female gender.

Personally I wouldn't say they are the same, I will classify feminism fight to be a fight of women extremist.




WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT WOMEN IN TOP POSITIONS LIKE PRESIDENTS, PARLIAMENTARIANS, SENATORS, CEOs (CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS), AND COO (CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICERS)? GIVE POSSIBLE EXAMPLES IN YOUR COUNTRY(COMMUNITY)




Seeing women in positions of authority actually makes me happy because I believe in the ability of women.

It is popularly known that female are more caring and devoted to whatever they do when compared to men.

Men are easily distracted and can be easily bribed, unlike women.

So seeing a woman in a position of Authority, I have this assurance that such an office will perform excellently well.

A good example is Okonji Iweala, she is currently heading the world trade organization and she is from the south eastern of Nigeria.

Before now, she held a position as one of the directors for world bank in Africa.

She really served well and held some other positions, she should be the role model of most ladies in Nigeria.

She is one reason women should be given a chance to prove their worth.




WHAT MAKES A GOOD LEADER (GENDER OR MERIT)

It is so obvious that a good leader doesn't just come from gender alone but from merit.

One should be appointed a leader not because he is a male but because he/she possess some unique qualities.

Unique qualities such as hardwork, diligence, charismatism, impartial and many more.

A good leader shouldn't come from gender, that will be a great mistake.




CONCLUSION




It is very important that gender equality is actualize and practiced all over the world.

I believe that women has a lot more to offer if only they will be given the chance to.

They will make the world a better place if I'm conjunction with men, they are allowed to hold position of authority

I appreciate the host of this contest for initiating such a great contest, I look forward to participating in the next contest 😊.

Sort:  

some culture even believes that women don't have the right to be educated since they will end up in their husbands house.

Actually these kinds of things need to be discussed more deeply, so that the practice of gender inequality can be eliminated and everyone will get a real life.

Nice publication, good luck for the contest

Oh my goodness, @jueco, you definitely accomplished a stunning accomplishment with this article! Your arguments were clarified in a well-refined manner, and your enthusiasm for advancing gender equality really shone through. I especially cherished how you connected a couple of your focuses back to Steemit, as it demonstrated how significant it is for all systems to advance gender equality, enormous or little.

I additionally value how you regarded the commitments that ladies have made to society, and how seeing them in positions of power can bring about constructive change. Your models, for example, Okonji Iweala, were so energizing!

Everything considered, your article was simply delightful and I delighted in perusing it. A debt of gratitude is in order for imparting your musings to us and for being such a solid supporter of gender equality. You are truly remarkable, @jueco! ❤️

Thank you @cherrypine for this heartwarming comment, I sincerely appreciate

I wholeheartedly concur that recognizing International Women's Day can be important in advancing women's rights. It promotes gender equality by increasing public knowledge of the problems, accomplishments, and contributions made by women to society.

The celebration definitely won't increase the equality as you've said but it'd help with the visibility which is a way of creating awareness about the issue.

Well written article. Assignment roles across gender lines without any form of discrimination would help eliminate most of inequalities we see.

By extension, we can also start correcting gender inequality in our homes. We cannot tend to over use the girl child because we want to prepare them for their future homes. We get it wrong here, the boy child should also be prepared for their future wives.

Therefore, the house chores should be one that both genders should be actively doing.
Good luck in your entry.
