Gender-based violence, including domestic violence and sexual harassment, affects millions of women worldwide and hinders their ability to participate fully in society.

Movements advocating for gender equality have gained momentum, and more individuals are recognizing the importance of women's rights. Governments and organizations are implementing policies to promote equal opportunities and protect against discrimination. Education plays a vital role in this transformation, as empowering girls through education can lead to improved economic outcomes and healthier communities.

By ensuring equal rights and opportunities for all genders, we can create a more just and equitable world. [Adapted United Nations. "Gender Equality."
