The laws have been passed and implemented in many countries to curb the atrocity of genital female mutilation. The illegalization of FGM is a tremendous step in agitating for gender equality and banning of atrocities that are associated with FGM.

Despite numerous resistances to gender equality, currently more women have accessed modern education and have been given equal job opportunities on employment sector. It is evidence by Hillary Clinton who has vied and she will again vie for a US president seat, a very powerful post around the globe. This idea is a marvelous one as the say goes that what a man can do, a woman can do it better and hence all genders should be given equal opportunities to exploit both in education and employment sectors. Further laws should be continuously enacted in order to ensure in future that both female and male child are educated equally and no one should be forced to take a certain course on the ground of being of certain gender. If this will be adopted around the globe then it will be rational achievement and progress.
Sexual violence and discrimination at home because someone is a girl or a woman is currently disappearing and in the future it will no longer exist.

The breast implants which is antithesis of health to uphold pointless and luxurious medical procedures for media and culture driven beauty reasons so as to fit physical characteristic desires by men is currently being viewed in equal weight as FGM. Other women body surgery like feet binding, body projects, mammograms, face-lifts, anorexia, pap smears, cosmetic surgery and corset which are mainly practice in developed countries are also view as women oppressions because they are being influenced by men desires. It has been categorized under social pressure as a gender inequality and hence effort has been diverted to address the issue.

Brutality that maims girls and women as seen in Nigeria when Boko Haram raided school girls is being fought globally. This has enhances security and in the future such acts will not be witnessed. Setting of strict rules relating to clothing and public appearance have been liberated and a girl child or a woman can wear what she feel will be more secured against social acts like rape.
In conclusion, countries are now in full swing force adopting laws that are prohibiting violence against women, FGM, and other violation of human rights. Countries are now working interdependently to enforce those laws and have joined hands to fund United Nations programs which will ease the fight against gender inequality and the vulnerable groups in the society. An active and effective program has been formed which is known as Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discriminations Against Women, CEDAW to champion for gender equality.
