Do you think that men and woman are treated equally in society?
if not , what are the ways you suggest to promote equality among society ?

Sex Equality, the state of equal ease of access to resources and opportunities regardless of gender, including economic participation and decision-making; and the state of valuing different behaviors, aspirations and needs equally, regardless of gender.

Fundamental reason we have not yet achieved gender equality in every realm is that women and girls’ voices are too often excluded from global and national decision-making.
majority of girls in India don’t have access to using basic technology such as phones and computers because of infrastructure related challenges and economic reasons. Increasingly we see bans on girls using mobile phones. The dialogue on girls’ access to Stem [science, technology, engineering and maths] education and women’s role in technology has not even started to be acknowledged.

Equality between women and men is one of the European Union's founding values. It goes back to 1957 when the principle of equal pay for equal work became part of the Treaty of Rome.

The Strategic engagement focuses on the following five priority areas:
1.    Increasing female labour market participation and equal economic independence;
2.    Reducing the gender pay, earnings and pension gaps and thus fighting poverty among women;
3.    Promoting equality between women and men in decision-making;
4.    Combating gender-based violence and protecting and supporting victims;
5.    Promoting gender equality and women's rights across the world.
