Did you know that the youngest Nobel Prize winner is Malala Yousafzai? She showed us that every voice matters, education should be given to girls as well and; she is fighting for equality between genders. Even though Malala proves us all those things, some people still consider that equality between genders is not relevant. People should not think that way because gender equality is crucial. I believe that women should be treated equally as men. My three main points that back up my thesis are that women work just as hard as men yet men still get paid more which shouldn’t happen, without equality, women are getting physically abused, and women have contributed to the discovery of amazing things just like men.

So women around the world are being physically abused by men just because men think they have power over them. Roia Atmar is one of the many examples of this as she has been in an abusive relationship. Almost 20 years ago, Roia was hospitalized for three months after her husband doused her in turpentine and set her on fire. She suffered horrific injuries and up until that day she hadn't known that she could leave her abuser.She had to do whatever he wanted her to do because as she said, “He was the one working, the husband, and the one paying the bills.” That proves that husbands think they have power over their wives just because they’re the husband. And because of the power men think they possess, women are getting physically abused and sometimes killed, like Roia Atmar who almost died. This is why gender equality should be established because without it men think they have power over women, and so they think they can do whatever they …show more content…

Women can be just as smart as men yet people think otherwise. Many women have discovered amazing things but unfortunately, some don't get credit for it. Rosalind Franklin is a scientist and she is one of the many examples of these. At the age of 27, she became an X-ray Crystallographer. She used to research on X-ray diffraction images of proteins, lipids and other biological substances. When she turned 31, she started researching on DNA. Soon she produced an image known as photo-51, which is one of the most significant events in the history of biology. But one day she left all of her notes and X-ray photos in the lab and went to take a break. While she was gone her colleague Maurice Wilkins took her important photos and notes and gave them to two scientists named Francis Crick and James Watson which was crucial for discovering DNA’s double helix structure. Rosalind had not realized her work was being used and she soon she died of ovarian cancer which is due to taking too many X-rays. Four years after her death James and Francis had won the Nobel Prize for discovering the structure of DNA. But Maurice, James, and Francis did not give any credit to Rosalind and so they got credit for her work. Luckily Francis wrote a secret memoir based on what they did and how they used her work and thanks to that we found out the true story behind the discovery of the structure of DNA. This story
