It is noteworthy that the world has achieved progress towards gender equality and women’s empowerment under the millennium development goals which also includes equal education opportunities for girls and boys but having said that girls and women are suffering from severe discrimination and violence in their work environment and households as well. As far as gender equality is concerned, it is not just a basic human right, but it is quite significant for a peaceful and prosperous society. Having said that it is proved from the available data that every 1 in 5 women are subjected to physical and emotional torture who are between the age of 15-40 by their intimate partners within a relationship period of 12 months and also currently around 49 countries have no proper laws and rules for the protection of women’s rights. The progress is occurring related to some harmful practices like child marriages which reduced by 30%, but much work needs to be done in this field in order to completely eradicate the evil of child marriages. The other major discrimination faced by women is in the workplace where despite their hard work and capability they are underpaid than their male’s coworkers. Although organizations like UNICEF are striving quite hard to eliminate this discrimination completely, still women are struggling harder to gain much-deserved equality. Reports and news like sexual harassment at workplace and violence against women are always on the news and internet. Even today after proper rules and regulation for jobs women are being judged based on their body and beauty rather than intelligence. Although equality does mean that males and females are always treated like the same, based on their biological differences, in some instances both are reasonable for different legal rights like the maternity leaves. But having so many rules and regulations we are still struggling to gain full women equality. Women are still discriminated in their workplace and even in their homes although little progress is made till now but with a proper strategy it can be achieved in the future ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"bwxRjE85","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Salinas and Bagni)","plainCitation":"(Salinas and Bagni)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":675,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/4C6u8dIT/items/A53L7K3Y"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/4C6u8dIT/items/A53L7K3Y"],"itemData":{"id":675,"type":"article-journal","title":"Gender Equality from a European Perspective: Myth and Reality","container-title":"Neuron","page":"721-729","volume":"96","issue":"4","source":"ScienceDirect","abstract":"In the past 50 years, significant progress in women’s equality has been made worldwide.

Technologies are considered as the mark of life. It has impacted every aspect including transportation, engineering, sports, arts and then medicines. Every aspect of human life is affected and then molded by current technologies and that in return has shaped and changed us. In the course of only a few generations, no other generation may have seen such a fast and intense revolution of the human way of life. Most of us are able to remember the time when there were no computers and the internet, and then our grandparents used to tell us about the time when there was not even electricity. Today all aspects of our lives are changed drastically by technology. People are able to connect regardless of the distance, this also enables them to look closely into the living style and also other cultural customs like dressing, language and other cultural aspects ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"ukEUH5vS","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}Technology, Culture, and Virtue\\uc0\\u8221{})","plainCitation":"(“Technology, Culture, and Virtue”)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":680,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/4C6u8dIT/items/HL4RI4IJ"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/4C6u8dIT/items/HL4RI4IJ"],"itemData":{"id":680,"type":"webpage","title":"Technology, Culture, and Virtue","container-title":"The New Atlantis","abstract":"An article from \"The New Atlantis.\"","URL":"https://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/technology-culture-and-virtue","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",3,4]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (“Technology, Culture, and Virtue”). As it has been reported that majority of the technology users are between the age range of 15-30 years which means that they are quite young and most of their mind is still in the developmental stages, and they can easily get influenced by the other cultures. In order to become modern and have a pace with the modern world, these people will start adopting the cultural believes of the other ones and by doing so the youth who are also the future of a nation are automatically endangering their own culture and its norms. They start doing things which are unacceptable in their own culture, but in order to fit in the modern world, they do not hesitate to adopt such things. Our local language is also losing its value due to the global language. So because of all these arguments, it is safe to say that by the advancements in technology we are losing our culture and traditions. Our language, our cultural clothes and most importantly our language get affected by technology and continuous interaction with people who belong to a diverse culture with completely different cultural norms ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"j0rjYioW","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Chronicle)","plainCitation":"(Chronicle)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":678,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/4C6u8dIT/items/IITBI2GP"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/4C6u8dIT/items/IITBI2GP"],"itemData":{"id":678,"type":"webpage","title":"Is technology a friend or foe to traditional practices?","container-title":"The Chronicle","abstract":"Leonora TshumaANALYTICAL arguments have arisen over the present and future use of technology in society, with divergent views over whether technology improves the human condition or worsens it.
