smile and learn hi friends today we're going to talk about a really important topic gender equality and empowering women and girls let's get to it gender equality is when everyone has the same opportunities rights and privileges no matter what their gender is it's when everyone is treated with respect in all aspects of their lives whatever their gender is the situations women have lived through throughout history have made the fight for gender equality about women having the same rights as men let's look at some examples why only 13 percent of private land in the world is
owned by women [Music] more than 750 million girls get married before they're adults women still earn less money than men for the same jobs and have less access to education for these reasons and many more gender equality is a top priority as a sustainable development goal for the United Nations foreign Ty is not only a fundamental human right but it's also one of the main ingredients for building a peaceful and sustainable world although much progress has been made women and girls around the world still do not have access to the same opportunities as men to
put an end to this problem it's important to change certain laws rethink certain customs and promote policies that will stop Injustice against all women and girls around the world [Music] and what can we do to achieve greater equality many things for example we can start by understanding that we are different but also equal what does that mean that we all have different likes and personalities but that doesn't make us better or worse than others we're all people for this reason it's important to respect each other and be kind to others we must respect everyone's likes
and dislikes and know that no sport clothing toy or color is only for girls or only for boys foreign did you know that there are thousands of women who have done great things we can learn a lot from the lives and work of women scientists artists and athletes and we can also learn a lot from the women in our lives our mothers grandmothers sisters teachers and friends have many experiences and things to share listen to them achieving gender equality requires an effort from local National and international authorities and from all of us as a global
