It is the state of being equal in value, position, situation based on what the context is at hand. In mathematics one plus one equals two as such there is a balance of the equation with the plus and equal sign. In gender one girl and one boy are equal to two children and parity is “De facto”. The mother who conceived a boy child conceived a girl, she put to birth.

That is to say there is relativity and that it depends on what we have to study at hand, so when we tell a boy to study, when it is the girl’s turn tell her to study very well. Girls have heard enough of this marriage in their teenage, meanwhile they are still children in their teen years. Today many are not even married so let us focus on all having equal rights, equal privileges and equal income as equal work is for equal pay, this must be for the girl and boy adults, equal chances in all domains and works of life.

Many women of high standing are taking upon themselves to educate others about the loop holes that the society puts on terms of social equality, they do this in passing because their rank and status warrants them to do so, they are suited to living in communities needing this companionship to reign in their spheres of interaction; this relates to activities in which people meet each other for pleasure.

Social equality is a state of affairs in which all people within a specific society or isolated group have the same status in certain respects, including civil rights, freedom of speech, property rights and equal access to certain social goods and services. However, it also includes concepts of health equality, economic equality and other social securities. It also includes equal opportunities and obligations, and so involves the whole of society.

Social equality requires the absence of legally enforced social class or caste boundaries and the absence of discrimination motivated by an inalienable part of a person’s identity. For example, sex, gender, race, age, sexual orientation, origin, caste or class, income or property, language, religion, convictions, opinions, health or disability must absolutely not result in unequal treatment under the law and should not reduce opportunities unjustifiably.

Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. Unfortunately, at the current time, 1 in 5 women and girls between the ages of 15–49 have reported experiencing physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner within a 12-month period and 49 countries currently have no laws protecting women from domestic violence.

Progress is occurring regarding harmful practices such as child marriage and FGM (Female Genital Mutilation), which has declined by 30% in the past decade, but there is still much work to be done to completely eliminate such practices. Providing women and girls with equal access to education, health care, decent work, and representation in political and economic decision-making processes will fuel sustainable economies and benefit societies and humanity at large. Implementing new legal frameworks regarding female equality in the workplace and the eradication of harmful practices targeted at women is crucial to ending the gender-based discrimination prevalent in many countries around the world.
