Gender inequality is a problem faced by all regions of the developed and developing world. In only four countries--Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden--do women have legal, social and economic rights roughly equal to those of men. The global consequences of gender inequality transcend(胜过) all aspects of human welfare, including poverty, disease, education, and environmental health. As a result, empowering women has been identified as a necessary condition for improving the lives of the most vulnerable men, women and children worldwide.

NO.1 Forbidden from driving
In Saudi Arabia, women aren’t allowed to drive, or even ride bikes, and men aren’t allowed to drive women they’re not closely related to. The kingdom is currently dealing with the dilemma of how to get 367,000 girls to school on buses that can only be driven by men.

A medical certificate from a doctor documenting physical abuse is simply not good enough. Although women in Egypt can now legally initiate a divorce without cause, they must agree not only to renounce all rights to the couple’s finances, but must also repay their dowries.
