Women take on many roles in life. From mother and caregiver to mogul and entrepreneur, the list is never ending. Although strides in gender equality have made over time, women are not always seen as worthy of respect. Violence against women and girls remains pervasive across the world, despite significant efforts being made to recognize, eliminate, and prevent it in all its forms. Human rights are women rights too, and everyone has a role to play in fostering gender equality, and it all starts with offering unconditional respect to women.
