Gender visibility and equality is a movement that has been gaining traction and making significant strides in the past few decades. By promoting the idea that both gender should be given equal opportunities, respect and visibility in society, it helps bring greater inclusivity, respect and justice to the conversation

This gender visibility and equality acknowledges the value of both genders, giving a voice to both sexes, in area like business, politics, science and academia, as well as personal and domestic area. It seems to create a level playing field for both men and women, understanding that men and women are equal value and have equal Worth.

It emphasize the fact that one's gender identity should never be the factor that leads to discriminatory action or limitations, and that both genders should be allowed the same rights, resources, and respect. Gender visibility and equality are important in that it allows us to be aware of how gender dynamic affect society and make changes that move us closer to equity.

By celebrating both gender, as well as other gender identities, the gender visibility and equality movement allow us to challenge our assumptions, behaviours and traditional notions, which helps to create an environment that is safer and more equitable for everyone. It's a way of creating an understanding that no one gender is superior, that everyone deserve respect and representation, and that all genders should be allowed to lead and participate in decisions that affect us all.

One of the best way to help my community foster a gender-equal world is to engage in conversations that challenge gender stereotypes Through thoughtful dialogue, we can better understand how to make space for different perspectives and encourage open mindedness. I also want to raise awareness of organization and individuals that are striving to make progress in this area

And also, I am committed to be enlightening the youth in my community about the importance of respect for all genders. Genders beyond the binary, and the Importance of self expression With all of us doing our part, I believe that we can create a gender equal world in my community and beyond.

Another way I can help my community is by providing equal access to resources and opportunities this could include helping to create programs for all genders to receive educational resources, providing mentorship for young women and other gender identities, and promoting equity and inclusion in the workplace. I also believe that actively supporting and advocating for organization, policies, and legislation that furthers gender equality is key to making meaningful changes in my community

In additionally, I can do my part to foster understanding empathy, and respect between genders and educate myself and those around me on the issues. By doing so, I am helping to make the world a better, more equitable place.

Can celebrating Women's International day increase visibility and equality?

Yes, Celebrating Women's International Day can certainly help increase visibility and equality of women worldwide

This day can be used to educate, raise awareness and give people the chance to stand in solidarity in order to help break the stereotypes and discrimination of women in different cultures and communities. This day can give a platform to give voice to all those unheard stories of suffering and violence which happen due to gender inequality and by promoting female participation in society we can also empower and enable them to succeed and break these boundaries moreover, this day can be used to educate both men and women on how to tackle discrimination and other problems and to appreciate the Worth of women and respect them for their work and presences in our lives

Ultimately, if Women's International Day is celebrated it can became a powerful tool for bringing in positive changes in gender equality and empower women to bring the long lasting change for the betterment of society.

Are the Feminism fight and the Women’s Rights fight the same?

No, the feminism fight and the Women's Right fight are not the same. The fight for women's rights encompasses a broad range of issues and concerns including gender equality economic equality, reproductive rights, and physical autonomy, while feminism is a more focused political ideology advocating for political, social and economic equality for women

The fight for women's rights has a longer history and deeper roots, while feminism movement is more recent and progressive in nature. The two are not mutually exclusive, however, and in many cases the struggle for feminism intersects with and complements the woman's right movement.

Feminism is a broad and encompassing term, often describe as "thy advocacy of women's right on the basis of the equality of the sexes". Women's Rights, on the other hand, refers to specific rights that only women have historically lacked or been denied access to. While some of the goals and aims of these movement may be similar, feminism and Women's Rights movements have different backgrounds and focuses

Women's Rights focus on legislation, reforms and interventions designed to directly empower women, while the goal of feminism is to challenge socially norms and expectations which lead to inequality between genders

What do you say about women in top positions like Presidents, Parliamentarians, Senators, CEOs (Chief Executive Officers), and COO (Chief Operations Officers)? Give possible examples in your country(community)

I strongly believe that women should be in top position such as presidents, parliamentarians, senators, CEOs, and COOs. women have a lot to offer, especially when it comes to problem solving, communication and collaboration skills, empathy, and ability to bring out the best in these around them. Here in my country nigeria, we are lucky to have inspiration female leader like Okonji Iweala and Oby Ezekwesili who are doing great job of pushing for positive change. I am proud of these incredible women, and the example they have set for us. I say women in top position have been integral in helping to create the foundations for a stronger, more diverse society.

They have not only broken barriers, but also set the stage for generations of future female leaders to follow in their footsteps. The value that women bring to the table has been invaluable in providing leadership in a wide variety of fields, from finance and law, to politics and health care. As a society, we must continue to encourage celebrate and support the incredible accomplishments of women in these positions of influence.

What makes a Good Leader (Gender or merit)

A good leader is neither gender nor merit but someone with a blend of both qualities. A leader should have the drive and dedication to excel, no matter their gender. They should also have strong skills in area like communication, organization, and problem solving. On top of that, they must posses qualities like integrity, charisma, and the ability to motivate. Leaders come in all forms and are capable of inspiring others to reach new heights regardless of their gender. In order to become a successful leader, it takes a mix of intelligence, talent, and the right attitude. Gender or merit should not be what sets a good leader apart instead it is the combination of both that will make a great leader.

Good leaders come in all shapes and sizes, and gender doesn't play a factor in whether someone is a good leader or not. it's their individual character traits and how they lead their team that really makes the difference it's not just about experience, but about a variety of characteristics like strong communication, Creativity, initiative, vision, empathy, confidence, and integrity that define a good leader. Whether someone is male or female can become a great leader if they focus on cultivating and honing the above traits. Ultimately, it's merit, not gender, that determine what makes a good leader.

Conclusion

In conclusion, gender visibility and equality has come a long way over the years, but we still have further to go in ensuring true parity for all. we must continue to break down gender stereotypes and challenge outdated ways of thinking to make progress in creating a more equal and accepting world. We must work together to support the visibility of all genders, encourage positive conversations, and fight against discrimination and injustice Through this, we can ensure that the voices and stories of those affected by gender inequalities are heard, and the respect and dignity of all gender are safeguard.

Thanks you all 💛
