There is a lot going on in the world right now. The World needs peace and not war. The fighting, bickering, and all other negative, yet not needed, effects need to be ceased.

I think that teachers are highly under paid. They play a huge role in each child's future. Without teachers, the world would be dumb and clueless.

Striving to raise up women's pay across the world to equal men's, a new global coalition - which includes the United Nations labour agency and Organization's entity promotion of women's rights - launched today on the eve of the General Assembly debate.

The Equal Pay International Coalition (EPIC) includes the UN International Labour Organization ( ILO), UN Women, and the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

"One hundred years is too long to wait, and we must all work together to make equal pay for work of equal value a reality," said Guy Ryder, the Director-General of the ILO, noting that equal pay for equal work is enshrined in the ILO Constitution of 1919.

Median monthly earnings for women in 2014 were on average 17 per cent below those of men, according to OECD. In addition, in many countries, the higher the level of earnings and skills, the larger the differences in pay between men and women.

Equal pay for women translates into lifelong benefits for them as well as their families, ILO said in a press release, boosting career prospects and lifetime earnings, greater independence, and higher investments in their children's education and health.

Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Executive Director of UN Women, said "there is no justification for unequal pay for a woman when her job is of equal value to a man's. This injustice has been unseen for too long, and together we are changing that."

In addition, equal pay empowering women, impacts other key goals, such as promoting inclusive societies, reducing poverty, and creating conditions for decent work and gender equality, EPIC will "bring together a diverse set of actors at the global, regional and national levels to support governments, employers and workers and their organizations, and other stakeholders, to make equal pay between women and men for work of equal value a reality," according to the press release.

The aims tie in to the UN Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs), in particular the target under Goal 8, which calls for equal pay for work of equal value by 2030.

Final reflection - 500 words. Explain your shadow. Many people in the world are treated with indifference and are unequal. People say that Americans have the best lives, and to a certain degree we do, but we have issues just like everywhere else in the world.
