The literal meaning of opportunity is, "a set of times or circumstances that make it possible to do something". So if we want to test the idea that women are getting equal opportunities today, we need to see if the conditions are more favorable for them compared to men.


Historically, women have always been marginalized in the society, but now the situation is changing. More and more women are being empowered in developed countries, the effects of which are being seen in developing countries as well. Companies are now increasingly creating robust policies to address issues of gender inequality, equal pay and harassment. These policies will help more women join the workforce and perform on an equal footing with men.

Women may be more prominent today in holding important responsibilities than in previous periods, in some countries and sectors women are earning equal to or better than men, but this does not mean that in today's world Every woman has equal opportunities.


To ensure this scenario, equal treatment of men and women is the only way in which all women can be guaranteed equal opportunities. But at present, this scenario is not absolute. . Despite all the progress, recent high-profile cases of discrimination at a company like Google are evident.


People still believe that women are not equal to men in various ways. When women are given a special right like equal pay, some people get upset. A scenario where women get equal opportunities in the workplace or society should be a mainstream concept.


Sheryl Sandberg, Oprah Winfrey, Janet Yellen and many other famous women have reached powerful and respected positions in their lives and careers. This shows that women in our society should be given equal rights and pay so that they can play their role equally as men with their ability, intelligence and responsibility. According to a report published by the World Economic Forum, the United States also went down in the ranking of gender equality.


It is encouraging that the way is now being paved for a new generation of women scientists, educators, engineers, mathematicians and other fields, but in the fields of STEM (i.e. science, technology, engineering and mathematics). The number of women aspiring to pursue a career is still far less than that of men. Many economists, academics and world leaders are working to reduce this gap.


Here the question arises as to why girls stay away from STEAM education. According to Prithaba Verma, founding executive director and chemistry professor of Indiana University's STEM Education Innovation and Research Institute (SEIRI), girls are still told that science is not for them, while girls from low-income households It is considered strange to adopt scientific subjects. We should abandon this practice.


Girls need to be encouraged in science, commerce and creative fields from an early age and encouraged to empower and dream big as they reach the prime of their careers. They can prove themselves that they are worthy of equality. Now is the perfect time to achieve this goal and make things right for future generations.


It should also be kept in mind that the fields in which technology plays its role, it changes these fields. Technology has made communication faster and easier
