Gender Equality Developments Unfair to Young Student's
Many people in the world today are striving to raise the position of girls in society.
This has paved the way for many girls to get quality education, and not being subjected to unfavourable cultural practises such as female genital mutilation that prevent them from attaining high positions at work places.
However, this could easily lead to boys being neglected. Currently, many sponsorship programmes support girls at the expense of boys, who equally need to be supported.
If such a trend continues, boys will be in the position where the girls were before programmes of gender equality started. This would make nonsense of the efforts, time and resources that have been invested in fighting gender inequality.
We should fight for equal opportunities for both boys and girls....what do my friends at IAC think....
