Women deserve fundamental human rights, and the Sustainable Development Goals highlight this human responsibility to treat one another with respect and honor. All we want is world devoid of any gender bias, violence and every societal threat where women are heavily empowered and resourced to undertake their responsibilities for a better society. Promoting gender equality is not only women’s responsibility – it’s the responsibility of all of us." Former UN Secretary Kofi Annan

Almost one third (30%) of all women who have been in a relationship have experienced physical and/or sexual violence by their intimate partner. Globally as many as 38% of all murders of women are committed by intimate partners. In addition to intimate partner violence, globally 7% of women report having been sexually assaulted by someone other than a partner.Violence can negatively affect women’s physical and mental health.
The world has made significant progress in combating epidemics since the beginning of the 21st century, but one thing is sure - that certain global public health issues like HIV/AIDS remains standing. And in 2020, the efforts of the WHO and other partners to help spread the education about HIV/AIDS prevention, stigmatization of patients, treatment and many more have become more difficult because of Covid-19.
The long subdued social discourse is finally taking place and you definitely cannot sleep through this revolution; it has simply come to stay! Emancipate yourself from this mental slavery and get educated now. Ignorance is so not bliss. Patriarchy is a social system in which men hold primary power and predominate in roles of political leadership, moral authority, social privilege and control of property.
Rape is one of the most terrible crime on earth. For every 2.5 minutes of freedom that you enjoy a female screams for help because she is being raped. The problem with people who deal with rape is that they try to educate women about how to defend themselves. What really needs to be done is teaching men not to rape.
Women make up only 28% of the workforce in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), and men vastly outnumber women majoring in most STEM fields in college. The gender gaps are particularly high in some of the fastest-growing and highest-paid jobs of the future, like computer science and engineering.
