Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities

To this day, it is still debatable whether or not there is equality in society. For decades, many have been discriminated and are not given proper respect by most people. People usually have disadvantages depending on their gender, race or beliefs. The world needs to change, and it is, bit by bit and day by day, but it needs to hasten it's advances, or it may lead to more discrimination and discontinuation of said change.

Signs have shown that discrimination still runs in the community that leads to unequal opportunities and rights of human beings.More than 90 million children worldwide are currently living with a moderate or severe disability. More than any other group, these children are more likely to enroll late, drop out, or altogether miss out on school. For those in school, the poor quality and exclusive nature of the learning environment often exaggerate their situation, especially in low- and middle-income countries.

The world hasn't been paying much attention to these issues.While working to achieve universal primary education (UPE), the global community fails to focus sufficiently on educating disabled children. This report provides an overview of the state of education for this population, including case studies in 7 countries. Not only disabled children, but even women have unequal rights. Women have minority status in terms of employment opportunities, legal rights, the educational system, political power, and positions of influence in religious bodies. Women tend to react to their cultural image by limiting their aspirations and by forming low evaluations of their own capabilities.

But equality is now being implemented, and in future generations, inequality will finally be eradicated. Profound changes are occurring in our society affecting the role of women and men, including trends toward smaller families, increased education for women, and the growing number of women in employment. Greater economic equality does not mean all people doing very similar work, or living in very similar types of families, or similar homes. It does not mean all schools being the same or all people being paid exactly the same. It means moving towards all people being respected and fairly rewarded for the work they do, the contributions they make and the needs they have. It means respecting reciprocity. Money is relative.
