Achieving Gender Equality in the Modern Era

Gender equality is a balance of rights obtained by all genders without exception. Achieving gender equality is a societal goal. In today's modern times, discussions related to gender equality are often a hot topic in the world of social education. Efforts to achieve gender equality can be carried out in the following ways:

Ending discrimination against women and girls

Discrimination often causes women to be targeted as victims, many cases of discrimination and imbalance are experienced by women, usually due to patriarchal views, namely men are felt to have more position than women.

Eliminate all forms of violence against women

both public and private Violence against women is a complex problem that continues to this day. Men who can't control their emotions often make women the object of their outlet, usually people who are close to them will have more opportunities to commit violence against women in the personal sphere.

Against child marriage

Marriage at an immature age will be vulnerable to discrimination and violence against women, the couple has not been able to control their emotions and maturity so that when there is a problem it will be resolved in the wrong way.

Improving public services that are more pro-women

Public services that are pro to women will reduce the level of harassment and violence against women, public services must provide a sense of security for women.

Strict regulations and sanctions for perpetrators of violence against women

Many perpetrators of violence against women do not get a deterrent effect, they still repeat the same mistakes. With the existence of strict regulations and prohibitions as well as severe penalties, it is hoped that perpetrators of crimes against women think twice before doing so and reduce the number of crimes against women.

The above is an effort to uphold gender equality and protect women's rights. In this modern era, these efforts are starting to be implemented. It is hoped that with these efforts, gender equality can reach a point of balance in society.
