correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
Women’s equality is an important issue that has been discussed for many years. Women have
historically faced disadvantages in areas like education and the workplace. While progress has been
made, there is still a lot of work to do.
One major challenge that women face is workplace discrimination. Women are often paid less
than men for the same job and are less likely to be promoted to leadership positions. This can limit
their career opportunities and hold them back.
Access to education is another area where women have historically been disadvantaged. In
some places, girls are not encouraged to go to school or pursue academic and professional goals, which
limits their opportunities for personal and financial success.
Gender-based violence is also a problem that women face. This can cause long-term physical
and emotional problems for women, which affects their quality of life.
To achieve gender equality, it's important to promote women's leadership, ensure equal access
to education and economic opportunities, and address gender-based violence. This is necessary for
creating a fair and just society where everyone has equal opportunities to succeed.
Gender equality is an important issue that needs to be addressed to create a better and more
reasonable world for all people.
