Abstract

This article is written for the main aim for us to become aware of our rights, to achieve gender equality and empower the women and girls by raising our voice against these discriminations. Sadly, there is no country in the world that has achieved gender equality. So, I will give some statistics based in my researches for the women’s rights worldwide, what are the countries where women are most discriminated, and what about these rights in my country, Kosovo.

In conclusion, we have emphasized that the struggle for gender equality should not be only an issue of women but it should be an issue to all men in the world as well. Over all, we are human beings and should be treated all equal!

Keywords: gender equality, women’s rights, human beings, discriminations, statistics, world, Kosovo.
