Gender equality is a human right, and still, two-thirds of the children denied by schools are girls(oxfam New Zealand, 2021). Furthermore 66% of women have experienced street harassment(NPR, 2018), . Women's issues are commencing to be more and more recognized, but still many are neglected . Women still face on a day-to-day basis issues such as unequal pay, sexual harassment and not being promoted in the workforce.

What we've done
So far this service project has achieved a lot keeping in mind the current circumstances in which we are (covid) and also the fact that the service project had no momentum to start the year off as it was only created this year.
