GENDER DIFFERENCES

       In my country men and women should be treated equally, both have the opportunity to study and work in equal conditions, but as they grow up, the treatment people give them is different. People differentiate between boys and girls. The differences define their role in society. Consequently in my country the Political Constitution protects rights of women establishing it as Fundamental Right and prescribed in section 43; that men and women have equal rights and opportunities and that women may be subject to any kind of discrimination. For this reason Colombian women receive the same education as Colombian men. They receive a salary equal to men. Women can enter the same jobs as men. Women can participate in decisions that are transcendental for my country. This process was a legal and social evolution over many years. In Colombia men and women are equal to the law regardless of gender differences or social stereotypes.
