That was when I thought about inventing a device that helps people suffering from visual, hearing and memory disorders. I called it \u201cThe Hope Device\u201d. One day I would like to produce it and market it.

The theme is aligned with UN Women\u2019s new multigenerational campaign, Generation Equality, which marks the 25th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, the most progressive roadmap for the empowerment of women and girls, everywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">This year we will also be celebrating other major UN anniversaries, such as the 10th anniversary of the establishment of UN Women, among others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">The emerging global consensus is that despite some progress, real change has been agonizingly slow for the majority of women and girls in the world. Today, not a single country can claim to have achieved gender equality. Multiple obstacles remain unchanged in law and in culture. Women and girls continue to be undervalued; they work more and earn less and have fewer choices; and experience multiple forms of violence at home and in public spaces. Furthermore, there is a significant threat of rollback of hard-won feminist gains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">The year 2020 represents an unmissable opportunity to mobilize global action to achieve gender equality and human rights of all women and girls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">Extrait de : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/fr\/observances\/womens-day\">https:\/\/www.un.org\/fr\/observances\/womens-day<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being a young Egyptian and creating your own electricity company?
