Thread: Why gender equality is an issue?

When I questioned, I was told by my aunt that It's useless to invest in girls, but boys will have to lead a family, so they chose to send him to private.

I don't want to be in a private university. but it would have hurt less had I been considered in the option. But I was never.Because I'm a girl.

Woohh! That's offensive. Why do they think women can't achieve or lead? How come it becomes useless to invest on women's education? I really don't understand and I totally agree with your point that it should start from our family itself.

I've no idea why everyone has this backward thought on women even in this century. We prove ourselves in everything, but the society loves to treat us as doormats.

Let's change the society together. I believe this kind of practices are mostly available only in Asia, and middle east region. The thing is they just followed the practices followed by their ancestors. They failed to understand that women can do miracles. As you told, it should start from our family itself. So, let's educate, discuss peacefully with them to change this.
