"Gender equality and women's empowerment are fundamental to the global mission to achieve equal rights and dignity for all.. but equality for women and girls is also an economic and social imperative. Until women and girls are liberated from poverty and in justice, all our goals---peace, security, sustainable development---stand in jeopardy."
~~Secretary General Ban Ki-moon~~
Discrimination towards women and girls, or what is known as gender-based discrimination, is one of the most pervasive human rights violations. It severely limits the ability of women, girls and the communities the live in to protect and promote their health. gender-based discrimination is irrevocably connected to negative health outcomes for women and girls. It's socioeconomic states, ethnicity , sexual orientation, religious affiliation or geographical location. gender equality is good for health. all people should be treated similarly, unhampered by artificial barriers or prejudices or preferences, except when particular distinctions can be explicitly justified.
Every man, woman and child deserve equal rights. Equal opportunities. Equal dignity. Without discrimination. :)
