     Gender equality is a fundamental human right and a critical foundation for a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable world. [I] Despite significant progress in recent years, gender inequality remains a pressing issue across the globe. [II] Women continue to be underrepresented in leadership positions and face numerous barriers in various sectors, including education, healthcare, and the workforce. [III] According to the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2021, it will take an estimated 135.6 years to close the gender gap globally if current trends continue. [IV]
