Over the recent years,
women
made a vast amount of changes and achieved a great position in
society
. More and more
women
are achieving great things in their
life
which lead them to have a better
life
.
However
, the question is, despite the success of
women
, how far has
society
achieved
gender
equality
?
Society
somehow rather claimed that
gender
equality
is still not achieved. I absolutely agree with
this
statement.
This
essay will discuss
this
topic
further
in detail.
First
and foremost, if we look at the achievements made by
women
, they are immensely remarkable. In most aspects of
life
,
women
have already overtaken
men
who are said to be dominant in every part of our lives.
For example
, in the career aspect,
women
are becoming great leaders, owners of businesses and chief executive officers in most companies.
Additionally
, the most fascinating thing is that
women
even reached the position to become prime minister of a country where we have been taught that only
men
have the capability to achieve these positions.
Therefore
, it is apparently clear that the exceptional success of
women
is increasing day by day.
While
women
are succeeding and breaking records in many aspects,
society
is still struggling to practice
gender
equality
. If
inequality
continues to exist, the transformation of
women
over the years are still meaningless. We can see
inequality
practices start even from home. To illustrate, the majority of families contribute to
gender
inequality
, in which only
men
have the right to make decisions at home not only for the family but, for the
women
too. I believe that
equality
to
women
means that the choices in their lives must be completely their own decisions. Whenever
women
prioritize their choices,
society
tends to have negative perceptions of
women
for not considering other people’s opinions and disobeying instructions of elders, mainly family members.
Thus
, conflicts are often being created in
society
and sometimes physical violence
also
can be seen in some families.
This
is where we are lacking in achieving
gender
equality
.
To conclude, the success of
women
has been proven in
this
new era,
nevertheless
,
gender
inequality
is still being implemented in some areas of
life
and the root cause of
this
issue is from the way of upbringings by the family which leads to stereotypes. Rather than giving negative opinions for
women
’s
life
on what to do and what not to do,
society
should focus more on how to achieve
gender
equality
in order to combat the dominance and violence in
society
. Once we realize that
gender
equality
is important for both
men
and
women
, only
then
we will be able to live in a successful nation.
