Masculinity, Femininity, Inequity, Rights, Sustainable Goals, Prosperity
People believed that humanity began with Adam and Eve before hundred thousand years ago. It is a base of Abrahamic belief that they both were the first human creatures created by God. They ate the forbidden fruit and excreted it from Paradise they sent it to the earth and the Human population boosts and inequity began and introduces new forms and regulations which are still chasing humankind. Still, man is facing this inequity. Equity between genders is the case common approach to the human sex, containing industrial participation and agreement. Men and women are not alike in the quadrille. Gender equality is impartial while gender indifference is a convention and idea that aid in achieving the goals (Allan F, 2021). The community either male or female assertive but not equally given rights. Gender unity is a handle to live gender equally a given circumstances can help in attain gender equality but is not the goal and of itself. Equity is the representation between genders; it's strongly associated with women's rights and sometimes depends upon action changes. In the years 2016 to 2017, there are many movements started for the rights of gender were not only concerned with the equality of genders but also the importance and integrity of females or males (Beauvoir, 1996).

This study employs a qualitative methodology. This research informs about the situations and discrimination regard to genders that destruct the human societal and strategical role. It also debates over the position and place of females compare to the male gender which is disrespectable according to normative and even religious values (Cheney, 2016). Different countries are supposed to do legal frameworks from which they can improve the societal place of females and provide a better environment for them so they can serve the nourishment and prosperity of their country and also enhance economic structure and settlements. This study also exposes the manifestations of real life and deprivation of chances and resources between genders and also reveals the reliability that is essential for the advancement of countries (Gender Equality, 2009).

Research questions
1. How gender partiality harms the masculinity and femininity in the progress of a country?
2. How do education and awareness help to understand and implement the concept of gender equality?
UNICEF provides a clear definition of equality of resources and chances for men and women, ‘’Girls and boys have equal rights to resources’’. UNICEF nowhere declares that in this world males and females are the same because they can distinguish from each other by their appearance, voice intonations, and even physical health (Heiman, 2018). International workers whose duties are to protect the female in conflicts and provide them shelter and proper living standards are the result of UDHR, whose articles are mostly based on the development and advancement of the state and nation. This study is the initial stage that depicts a glance over previous literature designs on the issues concerned with gender like the previous declarations, conferences, and seminars that started in New York by some feminists in which one of the women was Elizabeth Cady (Löther A, 2008). Simone de Beauvoir and other feminists progress an effort to improve discrimination.
PARTIALITY TOWARDS MASCULINITY
Partiality towards masculinity
This is a basic and worldwide problem. In different parts of many countries, female baby is not still accepted they have been aborted before birth after knowing the results of pregnancy and also killed after birth (Neigh G, 2008). Some people consider them a load and trouble over them as compared to male babies who consider them a pleasure for their parents. The inequity of gender begins from birth and never ends. This discrimination between males and females causes a disproportion between male and female creatures. Now the time has changed many things, women are proving themselves as a significant human being, not valueless creatures by participating in different professions likewise (pilots, astronomers, fighters, and Computer programmers) (Pizan, 2001). They are working in various fields and become more prominent figures than males. Still, this inequity goes on in education, health, and in society. Some thinkers think power and authority should not be given to women.

Masculinity and femininity
Progress has been made in different parts of life. Awareness of equality among women is increasing through some (activists, feminists, and feminist theories) (Sexual orientation, 2018). This equality is the need of the hour for the development and nourishment of the country. But disastrous happenings are still occurred likewise (forced abortion, female genital mutilation, forced marriages, and forced sex relationships). These should be fully controlled by giving financial aid to women by offering them employment and also by protection centers that should be formed by the government.

Except, 49 countries have no acts to secure females from such violence.
Females have gained significant status in the political office around the globe, but nationally, their participation is distant from equal (23.7 percent of parliaments). In 46 countries, females currently carry more than 30 percent participation in Parliament. Only 52 percent of females who are unified or in a relationship easily make their own opinions about sexual interactions and their pregnancy and health. Universally, Females own only 13 percent of husbandry ground. In Africa of Northern side, females carry lesser than 1 in five income tasks in non-farm regions. The ratio of females in provided fields beyond the husbandry region has raised from 33 percent in 1992 to 40 percent in 2016 (Gender Equality, 2018). Moreover, many countries are doing struggle to share funds for gender equality. In the South region of Asia after 1999, the hazard of immature matrimony decreased by 40 percent for girls.

It is closely linked to ladies' accreditation- a basic human right that is key to attaining a more calming and flourishing world.

Source of prosperity
Every country desires to make amendments and progress in every field, in every manifestation, and every profession. To achieve the required success, countries need to follow some principles that are useful for the betterment of the state and its people. These principles firstly emphasize over elimination and eradication of the distinction between male and female genders that causes the low ratio of progress in academic records, the political field, economic nourishment, and business investments. Then, these principles put focus on other things that generate after that like water issues. It is observed that there is less participation of females in education. From 2010 to 2011, the research on female educational or academic records reveals that there are only five countries that give better opportunities to females to take admission to colleges and universities. There is a big fear of parents or it can be said that they have strange intentions of them about their female kids, which are co-education (Subramanian R, 2001). Concerning that intention, many countries like Pakistan and even India build separate education systems. Sometimes, it is mentioned by parents that they cannot afford their children's education. The government overcomes it by giving scholarships. Still, there is a huge distinction in this field of education. As we know, illiteracy is a hurdle in the progress and prosperity of the country to get rid of this hurdle it is necessary to aware people of education that is a need of the hour. Moreover, it is not the field of education that lessens progress but also economic liberty, females are deprived of this freedom. If females are offered better employment and entrepreneurship it will not just help to stabilize the economy of the country and business investment but also improve household financial matters (Swenson, 2009). In World Wars, females served as an employee in place of males because of their absence but after it have done the problems related to wealth again took a position that they have earlier. In the 20th century, female strongly are making their place in economic fields.
Instantly, let us move forward with those authors who are performing remarkable works for gender egalitarianism. Together, they are making a bold call to world leaders, forcing them to step up and provoke men to think about gender equality. A nation can achieve the goal of development only when males and females have equal opportunities and resources. Women are often marginalized in society and are prevented from enjoying equal rights to men in terms of wages, health, education, decision-making and economic participation and independence, and political participation and representation. Social hierarchies have long prevailed such that women do not enjoy the same resources and opportunities as men. Women are usually the caretakers of the family. Due to this women are mostly engaged in household work. Women are under-represented in higher education, managerial roles, and leadership roles. This gender discrepancy hinders the growth rate of a country. When females join the workforce, a country's economic growth rate expands. Gender equality enhances economic prosperity as well as the overall welfare of a country.
