Final part of gender equality, what we should do

I am urging everyone to start encouraging people, communities etc who are unaware of the existence and negative effects of these issues I mentioned. 

It is our responsibility to educate them on the benefits of gender equality by action and words.

-Sensitize the traditional institutions  and the people in the community on the importance of sending their children (boys and girls) to school, so as to let them grow to adulthood in a healthy and safe community, getting them to know also that education is key to empowerment.

 Maintenance of environmental sanitation and personal hygiene must be emphasized.
Economist fight against gender inequalities by canvassing for stamping out discriminating customary laws and practices. Such as issues of property inheritance, especially land matters and early marriages.
This leads to serious health consequences in women such as Vesico Virginal Fistula(VVF), harmful widowhood practices, wife battering, female genital mutilation, male preference and rape to mention but a few.

-No longer should girls be forced to labor in the fields, sex trade or as domestic servants because they are poor.

-Sensitization of women for political participation.
-Form Gender Vanguards to carry out the above assignment.
-Need for increased attention on the disabled persons in the society as they are vulnerable.

It is my prayer that together we will continue to impact positively on the lives of women and other women and other vulnerable members of our s
