Eliminating Gender descrimination
Secretary-General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan stated in the report entitled ‘The State of the World’s Children 2007’ that “Eliminating gender discrimination and empowering women are among the paramount challenges facing the world today. When women are healthy, educated and free to take the opportunities life affords them, children thrive and countries flourish, reaping a double dividend for women and children.” (Annan, K 2007).
