No, women earn 12 per cent less than men (for the same work!).

• Globally, 750 million women and girls are married before the age of 18. inheritance rights.

• One in five women and girls, aged 15 to 49, have experienced physical and/or sexual violence by an intimate partner within the last 12 months. Yet, 49 countries have no laws that specifically protect women from such violence.

• The rate of representation of women in national parliaments is still far from parity. It is 23.7 % worldwide, in Turkey it is 17.3% (2019).

Gender equality is a fundamental human right and a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. Take action!
