I believe that gender equality is an extremely important issue that needs more attention than it’s getting. Gender equality is important to me because as a woman, I want to be able to live out my full potential. I want my ideas and opinions to be just as valid as any man’s ideas or opinions. When I get a job, I don’t want to constantly worry about whether or not I’m being taken seriously just because I’m a woman.
