Gender equality is achieved when women and men enjoy the same rights and opportunities across all sectors of society including economic participation and decision-making, and when the different behaviors, aspirations and needs of woman and men are equally valued and favoured.
There is an adage that says “what is good for the goose is good for the gander”. It is high time the society knew that all the rights given to men or boys are absolutely

From a psychological point of view, it means any person whose right is deprived is as good as saying he or she is being mentally imprisoned/caged/constrained.

Do not forget, women and girls have the same psychological make-up as the men and boys. They have the same sense of reasoning, the same ability to think. Now, put yourself in their shoes, see through their eyes and reason through their mind. Then ask yourself this rhetorical question: “how will you feel if you are deprived of your right as a human being?”
Now, imagine a woman that has lived 50 years on earth and have endured gender inequality/discrimination/restriction. It is as good as saying such woman has been mentally imprisoned/caged for 50 years of her life.
