Gender equality has been greatly promoted around the world. However, there are still many challenges that women face. First of all, there are still girls who are forced to get married before the age of 18. In many places, parents may see child marriage as a way to protect daughters from violence. However, many of these young girls become victims of domestic violence. Child marriage also carries serious health risks as young girls are not physically developed to give birth. Secondly, more than half of the world's uneducated people are women. This means fewer girls than boys go to school or stay long at school. Girls who receive an education are less likely to marry young. They can also have better job skills and can earn higher salaries. Education gives girls the opportunity to have a better life and give back to their communities.

Thirdly, women are often paid less than men. In other words, women have to work longer than men to earn the same amount of money. Differences in career choices might be one reason. Women tend to become nurses, secretaries, or shop assistants, which are low-paying jobs, while men choose high-paying careers as surgeons, airline pilots, or engineers.
Women are still not equal to men in today's society, and governments, organisations and individuals must work together to achieve gender equality.

- Problem 1: Child marriage
Child marriage
- Educating girls: When girls can go to school and stay long there, they will get the knowledge and skills necessary to support themselves and their families.  - Giving girls the right to decide their future: If girls are knowledgeable and independent, they won’t choose to get married early. - Educating parents and other adults: When parents and other adults know about the negative impact of child marriage, they will change their views and support girls’ rights.
- Problem 2: A lack of education for girls
A lack of education for girls
- Keeping girls in school: Poverty can prevent or stop girls from going to school. Education should be free, and governments and charity organizations should help poor families pay for transport, textbooks and uniforms.  - Making school safe for girls: It’s not safe for girls to travel long distances to school. Also, at school, girls may become victims of violence and bullying.  - Reducing girls’ workload at home: In developing countries, girls may be kept home to do household chores like carrying water, preparing food and washing clothes. Sharing housework between all members of the family helps girls succeed in getting an education.
- Problem 3: Low pay for women
Low pay for women
- Supporting equal pay: Companies have to commit to and provide equal pay for equal work. - Making salary information clear: Payment should be made clear to both genders so that women know if they make less money than men for doing the same job. - Sharing housework: When couples share household chores, women can focus on their paid jobs.
