Emtech Gender Inequality
Today, I want to talk about a pressing issue that affects us all - gender inequality. It is a complex and multifaceted problem that has persisted for far too long.
Despite the progress we have made in recent years, gender inequality remains a significant challenge in many parts of the world.
But why does gender inequality persist? The answer lies in deeply ingrained societal norms and beliefs that perpetuate gender roles and expectations. These

promoting gender equality and challenging toxic masculinity. Together, we can create a more just and equitable society for all individuals, regardless of their
