“Gender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is a precondition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable development and building good governance. “
-Kofi Annan
It has been a cultural belief of many regions that women exist to be housewives and mothers. These beliefs give women limited roles. They are considered under to men in terms of intellect, this has underestimated women's talents leaving them with a “label of inferiority.” Women are hard-working, responsible, intelligent, and, above all, they think twice before taking a decision. They must have rights to have a free life just like men, not making them housewives nor mother. A lot of people, when they think of a farmer, usually think of a man. But in fact, women farmers play a huge role in farming. In our country, women do the sowing, weeding, and also harvesting of the plants. Some women also are the one who also play as the father of the family at the same time mother. They are the one who work hard to feed their family. Women and men must have equal rights. So that women must not be treated as slaves and men must not be the superiors because women are special, and man can’t live also without women.
