‘Women will never enjoy the same rights as men’. Do you agree?

A right is defined as a legal or moral entitlement to do or refrain from doing something, or to obtain or refrain from obtaining a thing or recognition from civil society. Rights serve as rules of interaction between people, and, as such, they place constraints and obligations upon the actions of individuals or groups.

Firstly, I would like to make a point that women and men should not be compared in such a general manner. Both sexes are on earth for different purposes. However, if comparison should be needed, specific rights like voting and education can be examined in detail. In these 2 cases, women have already achieved both.

Women of today have yet to enjoy the same rights as man but improvements have been seen. For example, women are still not allowed the same pay as men who are of similar ranks to them in a workplace. The root of this problem is to society, a woman should be at home, taking care of children and not out there in the working world. The income difference maybe expected to serve as deterrence to women, encouraging them to remain a housewife. However, this mindset is starting to change. Vice versa, men are starting to accept the fact that they too, do play a role in bringing up and caring more for their children. This is a mindset problem that is gradually changing as the years go buy. Therefore, I disagree that women will never enjoy the same rights as men.
Another point is that women have already proven themselves capable to handle the intellectual demands both in politics and the workplace. Women are starting to appear one by one in parliaments and also take on major roles such a CEO of a company. For example, Fumiko Hayashi already a president of the BMW Company has been proposed to be president for the retailer Daiei. This is important for Japan as they have been rather against the idea of women working instead of remaining at home. Step by step, it is certain that equality of rights can be reached one day between men and women.

It may seem discouraging that even in developed countries like Japan are still experiencing a disparity in rights between men and women to the less developed countries but the important thing is that changes, though slow are underway and that the day when rights are equal between men and women is not very far.
