Tomorrow is #UNday. One of their sustainable development goals is to achieve gender equality worldwide. Around the world, women are still underrepresented in leadership roles in government, suffer from abuse and discrimination, and take on more household labor. Currently the UN is working to mitigate the impact of COVID on women's progress by encouraging efforts to provide economic support for women and to make sure women are part of the decision-making process for COVID res...ponse. Women are on the front line of COVID, representing about 70% of the healthcare workforce worldwide. We can all play a small part in helping achieve gender equality by working against gender biases, working to increase girls' and women's participation in areas like STEM and leadership where they are underrepresented, and by making sure women and girls have a voice.
