Economic

This graph shows women’s median usual weekly earnings as percentage of men’s, it significantly highlights the disparities in wages.

Although wage gaps still exist between the men and women, they have narrowed down significantly since 1980s.
Based on an estimate, it would take an extra 39 days of work for women to earn what men did in  2018. Hence it is evident that gender inequality exists in United States, but the country is trying its best to work towards gendr equality.

Education

It is known that girls have lower chances of stepping foot into a classroom compared to boys. Education allows for the learning of the most basic knowledge and skills, such as literacy. Girls deserve to attend school just like their male counterparts. Providing higher education for girls will not only help prepare themselves for their future lives, but also aid the society in economic growth(ability to take on jobs and earn money to start a family) and social development(lower maternal mortality rates).
