Equal pay for equal play. How often have we heard this? Not enough is for sure the right answer as this is still not applied nowadays. Gender inequality should be ended. This shouldn’t be just talked about, but actions should be made. For all the people here today, for all the woman and men, to every taxpayer: We have been fighting for everyone’s equal rights. Now it’s time to fight for women. And this is not an old case,this is still a valid problem to talk about. In 2020, woman earned 84% of which men acquired, as indicated by a Seat Exploration Center investigation. This therefore means that it would require an additional 42 days of work for ladies to procure the same amount which men did in 2020. But it’s not about how much you get, it’s about how fair it is. Many people have realized that battling for woman’s freedom and rights has time after time become a synonym with man-abhorring. To make things abundantly clear, feminism by definition is: "The conviction that people ought to have equivalent freedoms and valuable open doors. It is the hypothesis of the political, monetary and social balance of the genders." I have a dream that one day, when choosing between two jobs application, people will be judged by their minds and not gender. People will be judged by what they can offer and not if one will have to stay out for 9 months or not. I have a dream that we will drink to the thrust of equality from a cup filled with hope, kindness, and ethical decisions.
