Thoughts on equality as I grow up . . .

From a child’s view:

Anisa Khorassani said: “As a child, I see examples of both equality and inequality amongst my friends – boys and girls. I hope that as I grow up I see equality strengthen between women and men. My grandmother tells me stories which make me realise that things are improving all of the time – I really hope that a day will come when men will welcome women in all aspects of life.”

Equality affirms complementary roles

From a woman’s view:

Salome Wagh said: “Equality does not deny that differences in function between women and men exist, but instead it affirms the complementary roles that men and women fulfil in the home and society at large. Inequality promotes destructive attitudes and habits in men and women that pass from the family to the work place, to political life and, ultimately, to international relations.”
