All over the world, women still have fewer professional legal rights than men. In many countries, this gender inequality remains great and contentious.

There are many countries where gender inequality is decreasing, where women are more respected, a good example of which is in Europe, where the pay gap between men and women is around 15%.

Many women of working age don't have the same opportunities as men. There are regions around the world where women are prevented from fully participating in economic affairs and end up facing some restrictions on the labor market, and when they do, the pay is unequal.

Gender discrimination has a huge impact on the lives of many women, because there are still regions around the world where women are prevented from studying and working, where they are submissive to men, which today in our modern society is outdated thinking and positioning.

According to the World Bank, many countries are changing this position and have made some changes to regulations and laws in order to increase equality between men and women.

This humanitarian and legalistic vision is long overdue, but we know that achieving gender equality goes much further than changes in the law, because there are cultural issues.

We deal with gender-related issues from a very early age, a good example of which is childhood, where the determinations between the sexes are constructed.

In childhood, boys usually like blue and games and girls like pink and dolls.

These are differences that have been historically constructed in our society for centuries, attributing greater value to men.

But this is changing, of course at a slow pace, but the important thing is that there is a deconstruction of these stereotypes that we have suffered since childhood in which men are superior to women.

The modern woman is victorious, productive, independent and idealistic. We cannot go backwards in any way, we are overcoming many prejudices and seeking our rights, not because we are only women but because we are people just like everyone else, where we should have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else.

There are still many challenges that women will have to face, such as improving access to jobs, better salaries and protection from threats.

If society is to be equal, both men and women have a duty to question and combat any kind of gender inequality.

We are and we have the same rights.
