Minister Turner’s words are a beacon of hope for women everywhere. His commitment to gender equality will help break down the barriers many women still face today.
We need more political leaders who speak out for women’s rights like Minister Turner. His message shows that gender equality is not just a women’s issue—it’s a global issue.
Powerful words from Minister Turner today! Gender equality should be a priority every day, not just on International Women’s Day. Let’s continue to work toward a more inclusive future.
We need more policymakers like Minister Turner who not only talk the talk but also walk the walk when it comes to empowering women.
Kudos to Minister Turner for his ongoing support for gender equality. We need to ensure that women have equal opportunities in all areas of life.
Can someone explain to me, in what way are women treated unfairly to the point where gender equality is a headline topic? A woman don’t need a good reason to file divorce and destroy her family, she can just be bored and the court will reward her at the expense of her husband’s pocket for basically being selfish. Women can work in the same department with men, do less physical labor and still get the same salary as her male counterparts, women get statutory and maternity leave with full pay. Court system tend to be more lenient on a women than men when it comes to the same crimes. A woman can commit paternity fraud and get away with it and the list goes on. These benefits are not a big deal to me but the request for gender equality is definitely delusional bcuz women surpass equality at this moment and is more on superiority level. Wth is really going on in this world
