Reduce Inequality

In 2015 United Nations established 17 sustainable Development Goals from which reduced inequality is one of it. Reducing Inequality means to stop discriminating people on the basis of economics, sex, disability, race, social inequality etc.

The goal is to achieve a have a country free from all kind of social and economic inequalities making sure that no one is left behind to suffer in discrimination.

Everyone in this world desire to be treated respectfully but still every day half the population is under-apricated, disrespected, discriminated and mainly treated unequally.

Targets set by the United Nation for reduction of inequalities are:

2. Promote Universal Social, Economics and Political inclusion

This target aims to achieve an empower and encourage the political, social and economic inequality of all race, sex, religion, status, disability, etc.

 

3. Ensure Equal Opportunities and End Discrimination

To achieve this target there is a quick need to eliminate laws, policies and different practices which are discriminatory, and need to promote policies which are for a betterment of a nation.

It is sad to be said but women are more likely to be affected by discrimination compared to men. Women face discrimination in many faces like- disability, religion, ethnicity and sex.

 

4. Adopt Fiscal and social policies that promote equalities

The target is to bring in policies and law that provide and protect people from gender inequalities.

Why is Gender equality important?

Gender equality is a necessary right that should be given to the hole population. By denying this right we waste half of the world’s human potential. It is a human right issue by deny them we take away their chance to life to the fullest, stop them from growing and learning.

It is very important for us to break such stereotype roles as when we all will get equal opportunities and equal rights the whole nation can grow together into a well-educated, independent country.
