Why is focusing only on women safety while ignoring their freedom incomplete in gender equality?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because along with safety, women also need equal opportunities and freedom in education, work and mobility
Gender equality does not mean only protecting women from violence or insecurity. Women must also have equal freedom in education, employment, decision-making and safe mobility. Restricting their movement or work opportunities in the name of safety continues inequality. Option B may seem close, but safety cannot replace freedom. Exam tip: use the phrase “safety along with equal opportunity and autonomy.”
