Gender Equality is an Imperative Human Right.
It ensures that all Persons; Men, Women, Children, and the Transgender Diverse enjoy Equal Opportunities, Rights and previleges, Resource Allocation, Power and Decision-making, and Representation without any form of bias or Discrimination.
This brings about A Peaceful Coexistence, prosperity and achieving Sustainable Development.
Gender Equality can be achieved through Education, Education prepares one for Employment and Opportunities, impacts skills and knowledge, and offers both Genders a chance to explore their full potential.
Education should also promote positive stereotypes and preach Equality and Gender sensitiveness.
