Only a few countries in the middle-east and north Africa are treating the women in this way. In most of the other countries, the situation of the women have improved quite a lot during the past few decades. For example here in India, 33% of the local body seats are reserved for the women candidates.

There is no gender equality yet in the society and people needs to change.

Men and women are made to be equal. Not physically though but the point is in terms of living our lives we are all the same. We all feel the same pain, we love, laughed and cried. What difference does this show? Certainly nothing except the physical part by which the male are dominant. Yet how can a male live without a woman to carry the offspring. I do believe we are equal and equally shall we be given recognition.

Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world.
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.

I believe that we really do need gender equality because these days a woman can already do what a man can and a man can do what a woman can, except for carrying a baby in the womb of course, but in terms of labor and talent, both are actually equal. So, we should start treating each other equally.

There are few countries who still consider women as not an equal for men. Still believing on the old tradition that women should respect and consider men their superiors. But more countries considered both gender as equal. They made women and even gave them a chance to hold high posts in the government.

Gone are the days when women are left at their house to tend to the needs of the children and their home and the men are the ones working thus i believe that men and women now are treated equally. Women at present are now even given the highest position of a country, the Presidency, which was not before.

 For my own opinion both women and men need to be treated fairly in our society. We must appreciate and respect the ability of each other , either man or women. In the past  the woman was in the house only to make household chores and only men were working outside for thier daily needs and sometimes they were abused the rights of women.i It is different now both women and men are working to help each other and we also have a Law for women's rights. And now both men and women are equally treat in our society..

In different countries the state of women rights differs. In general, I don't think men an women are currently treated as equal. Notably that not all women want to be treated the same way as men. I'm sure that in ideal world, women and men both should be able to decide how they would like to be treated.

If women wanted to be treated equally, don't pull out the Im-a-woman-you-should-be-a-gentleman card only if it's in your advantage. Example, When both couples are hungry but the girl insisted to have a bote of the food first  

Gender will never equal. Everywhere there is gender discrimination. Men and women both are different and they will never equal but they can be treated equal.

Of course, it is a modern society where the right between male and female are the same so the rights are equal, perhaps woman has more right then male, if we think for example at the maternity leave.

in fact women are more elevated than men, only women always make themselves looked down by men, so if women want to be viewed equivalent to men make himself better

No, people always think and treat us women as a weak individuals. We often get underestimate by the adams. The fact is, we as women are much stronger than men. We as women are smarter than men. But men can't accept the truth that we are better in every ways except physical power.

It is not just a human rights issue; it is a tremendous waste of the world’s human potential. By denying women equal rights, we deny half the population a chance to live life at its fullest.

The issue of gender equality has been widely discussed in philosophical literature and the mass media sources. In any democratic society, gender equality is considered to be an important moral principle that should be followed by all members of society. Reviewing ethical theories, it is possible to apply the core principles of each of the theories to the issue of gender equality in order to identify the ethical theory that provides the most satisfactory moral answer to the issue and the ethical theory that provides the least satisfactory answer to the issue of gender equality. There are several ethical theories that could be used to answer the issue of gender equality. The three theories that will be discussed in this paper include utilitarianism, virtue ethics and feminine theory. Considering the key principles of these ethical theories, it is possible to identify the most powerful theory that could be used to handle the issue of gender equality. Thesis statement: Feminine theory captures basic moral insights in relation to gender equality because it highlights the necessity to address women’s rights, providing guidelines for morality and ethical consistency. This theory is the most satisfactory moral answer to the issue of gender equality, comparing with utilitarianism and virtue ethics.The issue of equality, especially gender equality, is an important ethical issue that requires the proper investigation in order to find solutions. The issue of gender equality is associated with human values and the socially constructed process of developing values in humans. Moreover, the issue of gender equality combined with the emergence of social movements may result in the promotion of gender equality at the global level. According to Cady Stanton (2007), many organizations are focused on promotion of women’s rights. In Cady Stanton’s lecture “Subjection of women”, the author continues to advocate a wide range of reforms that she considered crucial to achieving equality for women” (p. 140). The author believes that women should be focused on developing and establishing their independence in social life and in their relationships with men. Her work inspired many feminists and contributed to the development of feminist movements.

Here in our country there is still a job that needs gender, depend on a store and a company. Gender equality should push by our government, because we are all the same human being. Even lesbian and gays are not treated equal, I think if all of us will treated equal we can have a freedom to express what we want to.

Nothing is fair and gender quality is impossible. We are created differently to serve different roles and responsibilities. However, the treatment between men and women should be as close as possible. Both men and women should given equal opportunity in education, career opportunity, respects and rights. But they should also not forgetting the physical attributes given to men (e.g. strength, fatherliness) to protect and take care of one another.
