Do women and men have the same rights?

In France, the answer is yes! Because, nowadays, the law gives women the same rights as men.

In school, girls have the same curriculum as boys and are free to choose the studies and the job they will do.

Later on, when they start work, men and women have the same pay for the same job.

In their personal life, men and women have the same rights as regards marriage and their children’s education.

They have the same opportunities to be elected to important jobs such as mayor or President of the Republic.

So, why do people talk about inequality?

Equality between women and men is the result of a long struggle. Laws have improved the situation but serious inequality still exists.
