Serving As A Role Model For Gender Equality Gender equality
As a female teacher one has to be a role model to other females at all levels, especially the young ones who have intentions of achieving something in life.
Especially the one who suspects that the direction she has taken,
or wishes to take, is not for females.
Also to encourage female students to take science and
mathematics subjects in school for their benefit as well as to
advise them to convey the skills obtained to their fellow women and
to encourage them that there are no female and male subjects in
schools as far as minds are concerned.
The only difference is gender.
Gender equality within religions; especially church
services.
Women can be church leaders and they are capable of being church
leaders because they are the ones who participate in many events in
the community eg funerals, taking care of the sick and caring for
orphans.
Once they reach leadership positions they would encourage others
to attend church services to create a healthy nation.
This will lead to the transfer of church ideas to the whole
household - especially the young boys and girls being raised in a
Christian background.
This will determine their conduct in their society when they
become adults.
Women are not created to only be singers in the churches or for
the cleaning of churches after services.
They can also be incorporated into church management to address
issues affecting women in churches and in general life.
Gender equality within medical services: Nothing can stop women
from being more than nurses.
They should be prominent in the medical field and reach higher
positions.
They should not only rely on being staff nurses to always be
guided by male doctors.
Provision should be made for women to receive privileges in the
medical field because of the demanding task in their respective
communities of caring for their extended family.
Medically qualified women should practise medical examinations
at any time in their society - even if they are off-duty.
By doing so, they can be role models for others who intend to
pursue a demanding career in medicine.
Last but not least, women should not be discriminated against
when it comes to becoming medical superintendents once they are
qualified candidates for those positions, at medical
institutions.
Gender equality within traditional authorities.
Women can be the chiefs of certain tribes or either head women
in the community, rural or elsewhere, therefore they should not be
denied the right on the basis of their sex.
They can review the traditional customary norms imposed by their
male counterparts and take into consideration the balancing of
gender sensitive issues within the traditional customary marriages
where both parties should enjoy equality in their marriages.
They can also serve as lawyers in the traditional courts in
settling married couples' differences and other incidents, which is
currently in the hands of the men who take oppressive decisions in
settling the differences.
Gender equality within legal systems: Provisions should be made
for positions in the legal system for female candidates for those
positions within the judicial system in order for them to address
issues affecting women on a national level.
Positions such as legal councils in the high court, prosecutors,
chief justices and prosecutors general should be reserved for women
with the main aim to impose stiffer sentences without mercy for the
perpetrators of crime directed against women.
They must deter those who commit certain offences by having to
face a female magistrate.
A special thanks should be offered to the ruling party who
selected Pendukeni Ithana as Attorney General to cater for women
empowerment in the legal system.
