RESEARCH OBJECTIVE

The goal of this research is to figure out why gender equality is still a challenge and find ways to
make things better for women. We want to look at how things like jobs, education, and leadership
roles are not the same for everyone. By digging into different aspects of life, we hope to
understand the problems women face, especially when it comes to other parts of their identity
like race or culture. We'll also check how laws, policies, and cultural beliefs affect gender equality.
The aim is to come up with real, practical ideas that can help policymakers, businesses, and
everyone else make things more equal. Ultimately, we want to use this research to suggest ways
to break down barriers, create fair opportunities, and push for gender equality in different parts
of the world.
