The main problem with gender equality in Africa is the fact that women are not given equal opportunity to education. Without a proper education, one can not expect to have a meaningful source of income or impact in the future. The fact that men are given more rights than women to education is simply wrong. In first world countries, many women hold very prestigious jobs proving that they are worthy and able to work hard with much success. Women should not be disallowed entrance to a school or given other roles that take priority over education.
However, this problem of gender inequality isn't only found in the third world. Many first world countries, even in the west, experience a large degree of inequality throughout the workplace. An example of this is that at Goldman Sachs, regarded as the most powerful and influential company in the world, it is known that if a woman is promoted it's because she's a woman (to avoid another female rights violation lawsuit). These problems should be taken care of to give women, of the same species as men, the same rights in the same work places.
