Womankind, a global women's rights organisation released a surprising fact about women's global average wage-gap. It was astonishing to see that the max average that a woman earns is about 75% of men's wages. Equality needs begin from economic independence and giving women professionals their due for equal work as men, which is step one for society's long-term goal for eradicating gender discrimination. This Women's Day, let's all be the strength of our women, in her fight for freedom.
