Assignment 4: Why is Gender Equality Important for Women?

 


Most of you, of course, already know International Women's Day, right? International Women's Day is a Day on which women around the world, have the opportunity to celebrate their achievements, and call for greater equality for the awakening of women to the importance of taking part in the development of the world. For a long time, the role of women in social life has been hampered by inappropriate perceptions of gender equality. So far, society considers women to have limited opportunities based on physical differences. This perception then develops in society and becomes a stigma in the community. This is what causes the role of women to be limited in social life. Women are positioned to play a role at home and only men work outside. In fact, women also deserve the same opportunities as men. Women also want to have equal access and opportunities according to their competence, such as in professions in the world of work.


Currently, many women out there struggle for gender equality. By fighting for women's rights, of course, it has a very important purpose for the future. In addition, there are many reasons why gender equality is important for women, including the following:


1. To eliminate all forms of discrimination that often occur in the world of work.

Equality is usually closely related to gender issues, especially how women have rights in the world of work. Women also need and should have equality. If a woman has equality and an equal part in a company, of course she will find it easier to explore her abilities. Everyone in their work must be given equal rights in developing their abilities and ideas. If this can be realized properly, it can make the company have a good working environment.


2. Every woman has the right to receive the same higher education as men.

As we have known for a long time, it is not taboo anymore if only men are obliged to have education to the highest level. Meanwhile, women are only allowed to have education only up to senior high school. Even many women cannot go to school and only stay at home to do housework. However, with the development of the times, women must have higher education, this is because women are not supposed to be good at doing housework but are also required to have better knowledge. This is because women will become mothers who must be able to guide their children to become intelligent and educated people. This is because a mother is the first school for her child.


3. With gender equality, it is hoped that it will be able to eliminate all forms of violence and sexual harassment experienced by women.

Women are frequently become the victims of violence and sexual harassment. This is because women are considered physically and emotionally weak. This incidents often occur in public places or in a family or even done by someone who close to them. Of course this is a violation of a person's right to be treated kindly by others. Women and men still have equality and justice with each other. Not being treated harshly has become a form of gender equality and sexual equality.


4.Every woman has the right to have the freedom to participate in politics, socially and economically.

With gender equality, women have the freedom to take part in politics in the country. Apart from politics, there are various other fields that can participate in it, including in the social and economic fields.


Equality is important because we are human beings who have the same rights and obligations, the same opportunity to feel valued. Both women and men deserve the same education and have the right to choose our future.  As a woman, you have the right to choose freely for your life. As in choosing a work profession, you have the right to have any profession, even a profession that society usually considers only for men. Women can also be successful in any field, including being a leader. In commemoration of International Women's Day, at least women are encouraged to be more creative and able to produce bright and constructive ideas for the progress of this nation.  Keep working ladies!  Do not give up! Happy International Women’s Day for all of Wonder Women in The World!
