The unequal treatment between genders has been a very big issue in the world. Everyone can face it, be it man, woman or even the third gender. This is what we call Gender Inequality.
I personally think that this issue is really mean to each other and very selfish. You only think of your own personal benefits, as everyone does, and this causes sad things to the other party.
People made videos of social experiments to prove that this is a big issue.
Some people conducted social experiments to prove that Gender Inequality is a big issue in this world. This experiment was to prove that people will side with women more when it comes to violence or fights.
The video started with a girl hitting a boy in public. Not much people minded it. Some other people that noticed it laughed with the “he deserves it” face.
The next scene of the video showed a boy hitting a girl. A lot of people noticed and despised the man. People threatened him to report him to the police. They defended the girl.
We can see here that this experiment was a success. I personally think that if I were the people, I would ask for the situation first then see who was at fault then react. We shouldn’t judge things easily just because of their genders.

I am not sure but in my opinion, women face more cases of gender inequality.
For some countries, women are not allowed to drive or even ride bikes alone. They should always be under the supervision of male relative. I think women should have the right to freely travel from one place to another. I, myself, cannot imagine how hard it is to not be able to travel freely from one place to another.
Girls are taken out of school once they hit puberty. I think that this is really unfair for the girls who want to learn. People think that girls should just stay at home and do housework. I believe that women have the right to do the things they want to do for their own future.
In China and India, people value boys over girls. If the child is female, it may result to abortion, neglect, abandonment and infanticide. This is because they want males to continue their legacies. I do not believe in this practice. I believe that they should make their female children live and grow up happily.
Studies say that women earn just 77% of what men earn for the same amount of work and jobs that are traditionally considered as women’s work, such as nurses and teachers, are often the lowest paying fields. I believe that men and women should have the same amount of pay. Women work just as hard as men so why do women have lower pays? I think these people should understand this issue.
Although I said women face gender inequality, men face it too.
They say men cannot cry because this is considered feminine. I believe that men have the right to show their own emotions because men have feelings too. I wouldn’t laugh at them when they cry.
Men who break the law face heavier punishments than females. This is because they think that girls are more sensitive than guys. I believe that if a boy and girl committed the same crime, they should have the same punishment.
These are only some of all the examples of gender inequality and this has to stop. I will try my best in my full power to help stop this horrible issue. I hope that you can also help stop this. This is not just for me, but for you and your future children too. I want to make the children of the next generation respect each other and have the same rights.
Hillary Clinton said, “One good idea, one person, can truly transform many lives for the better.” This just means that a single person can make a difference. We may be young and cannot do big things. However, small things can make a big difference.
