For example,girls have considerably less access to education and they face more obstacles, in some parts of the world, women have restricted land ownership and they do not have the same rights as men and also women are more likely to be the victims of gender-based violence.

Gender inequality can be encountered in all areas of life. In women, this situation is more common in family life, marriage and working life. For example, the fact that housework or childcare is seen as the responsibility of women can be an example of this.

1-) The gender pay gap is not necessarily because of discrimination, and there are other factors that causes it. Such as work experience and part time working. On average, men have more experience in full-time working, which is rewarded more favorably. The reasons for women working part-time jobs rather than full time can include motherhood and other responsibilities. Which still doesn’t feel right to me, women shouldn’t be paid less because of the lack of opportunities they have compared to men.

2-) Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like we can achieve gender equality anytime soon. Violence and assault towards women is still a major issue around the globe. Women face oppression daily and although it’s not as bad in some places, women are oppressed everywhere.

3-) The feminism movement has affected gender equality greatly and continues to do so today. Women’s efforts to influence policy and advance themselves and other factors brings us closer to gender equality.

4-)While many countries have tried to narrow the gender gap in education, today, girls still face obstacles that hinder their education. Today there are more than 132 million girls out of school.  There are many reasons why girls feel discouraged from continuing their education. They might be discriminated against due to their gender, they may not get support from their families the same way boys do, and they may have more responsibilities such as housework.  Providing equal rights to girls in education is not only about access to school. It's also about making girls feel comfortable in the classroom, encouraging them to pursue the career paths they are interested in, and so on.

5-)Laws have improved a lot in terms of equality, but there are still situations where women have less rights than men. For example, women are paid less than men while doing the same amount of work, there are countries that restrict women from land ownership, in some places women do not have the right to pass on their nationality to their child legally, and in some countries such as Lebanon, women who have been abused cannot file a divorce while their husband can divorce them easily.

6-)Unfortunately violence against women has not diminished throughout the years. Gender-based violence is a violation of human rights and it is a life-threatining issue. It is claimed that one in three women has experienced physical or sexual violence in their lifetime. There are some things that we can do to prevent gender-based violence. We should educate ourselves, stop using sexist or discriminative language, stop stereotyping men or women, and help when we see someone being violated.

The encounter with inequalities can begin for girls from birth and may follow them throughout their lives. In some countries, the death rate among girls is higher because they are deprived of health services and adequate nutrition.

With the establishment of the Akkadian Empire of the Great Sagro, he laid the foundations of the male-dominated society. Enmetena enacted the Urukagina Laws. These laws were the first laws in which the known gender inequality was applied. In this law, "If a woman speaks without her turn, break her teeth with a solid brick." there is an item

The issue of gender equality in Turkey is in a much worse position compared to developed countries. An Index made; It is prepared according to criteria such as women's participation in the economy, equal opportunities, educational opportunities, health and women's political empowerment. Turkey in this Index; In the category of women's participation in the economy and equal opportunity, it ranked 140th, 137th in labor force participation, 95th in equal pay for the same job, 1O1th in access to education opportunities, 85th in health and 114th in political life.

10-) Where this discrimination happens?

11-) Can we solve this inequality/discrimination problem?

12-) What can we do to solve this problem?

10-) This discrimination happens especially in workspace.Unfortunately, people trust men more than women when it comes to job experience. As men usually tend to start working in their earlier lives, people may choose men when giving a job.

11-) This is a real and important problem and I believe that this could be solved with education. Experience or knowledge is not something about gender and this should not affect decisions.

12-) In order to solve this problem, we should teach more and show people that it is not something about gender. People who think that men have more ability or experience should chage their decisions. In Istanbul, there were no women bus drivers before but now sometimes I see there are some women bus drivers and they do their job well. If people give some observable chances to women they will change their minds.
