So they are taken into account on equal terms with men in male chauvinistic societies; to allow them a comprehensive development and women's empowerment to be recognized so the large gender gaps are overcome.
For a positive change in the society and this only occurs thanks to the struggle of women participating on equal footing with men in society and that their development is integral as individuals.
