It’s remarkable to see the progress women have made globally, but it’s disheartening that some societies still perpetuate abuse against women. In these societies, it’s crucial to continue advocating for gender equality and empowering women to break free from such cycles of abuse.
Looking ahead, I believe education, awareness, and support systems will play key roles in shaping a more equitable future for women in these societies.
