There would be no shortage of meaningful activities, given that in many countries women are treated as second-class human beings. Slavery is also still widespread, especially in Africa and Asia. In view of these real problems that women face, doesn’t this UN Women gender project seem inappropriate? Without generating any sustainable benefit, this gender language guide not only wastes hard-earned taxpayers' money but, it also completely disregards the gender specific, complementary abilities of men and women. Is teamwork between men and women no longer in demand today?
