In Equiterra, all people have equal rights and opportunities, regardless of their gender. Women and girls feel safe when walking at night. They get paid equally as men, for work of equal value.
Confiance News gathered from United Nations Women (UN Women) website.
“Men and women share chores and care duties at home, and they can access high quality care at affordable rates. Isn’t that fabulous!
“No one is talking about ‘at least 30 per cent’ quota for women in political leadership in Equiterra anymore — men and women are equally represented in political offices, corporate boardrooms and factory floors.
“Women have equal say in decisions that affect their lives, their bodies, their policies, and their environment. Girls are as valued as boys are, and people of all gender and sexuality feel safe and equal,” the UN Women disclosed.
However, UN Women stated that Equiterra exists only in our imagination, but it’s a place that we can all aspire to build.
They further disclosed that to date, no country in the world has achieved gender equality.
“Twenty-five years ago, 193 countries came together at the Fourth World Conference on Women and promised to take measures that guaranteed gender equality.
“They signed on to the most comprehensive global roadmap to destination ‘gender equality’, the Beijing Platform for Action. There has been a lot of progress since then, but many of the promises are yet to be fulfilled.”
