This year, the world we want launches it's spoke model. The world we want works in joint collaboration with United Nation and produces report regarding different section of society. This venture covers various topics ranging from inequalities to education to environment sustainability and health to water to governance and even more. And one of the topic, Inequalities put me into greater thought. Especially inequalities with girls. The women are considered to put the most important part of human civilization. Yet, they are dis graded from society. Thus leading to a miserable life. Inequalities faced by young people take a specific shape when they are addressed through a gender lens. Girls and young women often suffer from gender specific discrimination and disadvantages due to cultural, economic and social reasons. And in response to this, many people raised their voice over the social media and websites. Some amazing feature that was a result of this agenda : Many vocational skills training courses for girls and young women tend to reinforce societal biases associated with household, reproductive and carer positions, rather than challenging and transforming gender roles and carving out new pathways towards gender equity and economic empowerment. In 2002, UNESCO launched its regional ?Technology-based Training for Marginalized Girls? project in South East Asia to facilitate the insertion of girls into occupations and technical and vocational training streams traditionally dominated by men and, in doing so, contribute towards achieving the third EFA Goal: ?Ensuring that the learning needs of all young people and adults are met through equitable access to appropriate learning and life skills programmes.? In every walk of life girls and young women lag behind boys and young men due to persistent discrimination, inequality and injustice. For millions of girls worldwide, their dreams, ambitions and plans shatter only because they are girls.
