PHILADELPHIA - Marylandian -- Have you ever considered the progress in the battle for equal rights? The new page Feminism offers a clear picture of this fight, using real stories and data to highlight both the achievements and the challenges ahead. It emphasizes that equality is not just a political issue but an economic and everyday concern for both genders.

The Figures Don't Lie, But They Also Tell a Story

The statistics unveil that over 68.4% of the worldwide gender gap has already been closed, which is a great success! However, it is not the time to call it quits; still, a lot of problems need to be solved. Take the U.S. as an example:

• 56.6% of women are part of the workforce, compared to 67.6% of men
• More than 60% of Americans are convinced that the wage gap is the result of discrimination at the workplace
• The number of women in parliaments worldwide has increased from 5% in 1960 to 26.7% today a tremendous rise, yet rather unequal though

It turns out that gender equality can significantly boost the global economy by as much as $28 trillion by 2025, according to the most recent data. But it's not just an issue of equality; it's about a superior future for everybody, better prospects for economies, and smarter economies, too!

"Gender equality is not only a woman's affair, it's a human affair," says the project initiator "The thriving of women means the thriving of societies. The facts are there to prove it."

How Small Contributions Can Change the World

The best news? You do not have to be a politician or activist to be capable of having a positive effect. Small actions have a large impact, and research shows simple ways to help make changes:

• Speak up against biases you see in the media or your daily life
• Support fair pay policies for workers' equality by using your voice and by supporting companies that prioritize it
• Give women a platform online, in the office, and in executive positions
• Participate in groups that work for gender equality

Protests Which Caused a Furor

Feminism is not only an ideology but a movement, often manifesting in powerful protests' energy legs. Some of the most potent feminist demonstrations are as follows:

• The 1913 Women's Suffrage Parade (Washington, D.C.)
• The 1968 Equal Pay Picket (UK)
• Reclaim the Night Marches (1977–present, worldwide)
• The 2017 Women's March (global)

Feminism isn't just about statistics, it's about real stories, real struggles, and real victories. The new Feminism page gives a fresh, data-driven look at how far we've come and what still needs to change. Because when it comes to equality, knowledge is power, and action is everything.
