International Women's Day, a festival for women all over the world, is a festival for women around the world to strive for peace, equality and development.
Although the status of women has been greatly improved in all fields of society in the past 100 years, it still needs urgent attention and resolution to let every woman obtain freedom and equality in the true sense.
As a woman, have you ever been in a situation like this?
1. When you go to the toilet, there is always a long queue in the women's toilet;
2. Compared with teammates, you need to spend more time on your family (doing housework, taking care of children, buying daily necessities, caring for your parents' health, etc.);
3. I had to give up my job because of pregnancy discomfort;
The above phenomenon is just the tip of the iceberg in our lives, and it is also the norm of life. Most of us are used to it and don't take it seriously. I don't think about whether these things are reasonable, whether we should speak up for ourselves.
The most popular profession associated with women is "housewife", while men are "master masters".
Women make up 24% of the portrayals in newspapers, television and radio news around the world.
The size of the standard keys, which is not friendly to most women, is designed according to the length of the man's hand.
These veiled gender biases, which rely on reliable data and facts, are more sober and deafening than any slogan of equal rights.
It makes us realize that many of the phenomena that make us feel uncomfortable, sensitive, and anxious are not our delusions!
Today, we are not talking about the motivations of these gender biases, but the important thing is to change. It's not just about equality for all, because no one in this world is immune to it.
Seventy-five per cent of the world's unpaid care work is done by women, and there are no women in the world who do not work, but only women who do not receive fair pay. Women are often expected to fulfill traditional family roles and prioritize family and housework responsibilities, while being ignored or excluded from participation and development in the professional and public spheres.
According to Chizuruko Ueno, women's unpaid work is a "resource-free resource that can be exploited in the name of love."
Many women work two jobs at the same time, paid for their jobs in the company, and have an unpaid job when they return home.
The fact that the effort is not seen and the serious mismatch between the reward and the return may be a heavy blow to women in the world. These inequalities are exacerbating women's spiritual internal friction. Many women often feel frustrated and exhausted when trying to balance the pressures of family and professional life.
Focus on women's needs so that more women can be seen in key areas, shine in decision-making, research, and knowledge production, take power, exert influence, and close the gender data gap. Strive for a healthier, safer, and dignified life.
If one day, we can see the power of "she", then we will be one step closer to a truly egalitarian society.
