Gender Equality

Gender Equality

  Gender equality states that women and men have equal value and should be treat equally or even more.
  Gender inequality now has been a serious problems in the world, back to the old time before World War I, before 1900s, men took advantage to stand in the highest rank in the society and having more authority than women. While woman was put in lower rank, they was forced to stay at home and have economic depend, have less right. But when World War I happened everything was changed, all men left their home to do countries duty which is fought for their country and woman was at home doing everything like doing men jobs, they can do everything that they have never done before such as to have a jobs like engineer, doctor, nurse and many more, so  they have money without economic depend. From that time everything was changed, woman have same position as the men in the society.

  But that is story about very long time ago, gender inequality is really serious now especially in the in Eastern countries, according to Gender Index Organization:
1. In 2007, 34% of Vietnamese women report experiencing at least one type of domestic violence in their lifetime.
2. Vietnam male/female sex ratio at birth in 2013 is 1.12. There are some abortion due to boy bias. It is a long-existing tradition in Eastern countries that boy is better than girl. This is very old tradition in Vietnam, since our country was create, It bring a lot of inequality to women. Women was put the "uniform" of family, they was treated as lower class, cannot go to school because if woman learn they are not as good as boy do.

  As I see gender inequality affects the whole society:
1. In economy, gender inequality limit the salary or amount of women can made
2. In education, woman and man have the same intelligence, so to say woman performance at school not as good as man is unfair,
3. In politic: woman can make strong decision and also rule countries, but there are few woman politician, making politic somehow bias.
4. In society, woman receive domestic violence in different way abuse, sexual harassment and stereotypes.

  Woman in 21th century play really play big role in our society, to me both women and men are important. There maybe no solution for gender inequality, because that is people thinking, perspective and you can't change it. I believe gender inequality is one of the old perspective of the old generation, it can be replaced by the new thinking and perspective of the new generation.
