Dear Uchem, your question amazed me! Can these social evils (namely race-gender based inequalities) be ever overcome???  We people around the world are culturally different. Perhaps there is no single solution at the global level because I know the height of gender based marginalization of women in our context. However ... we can hope and can attempt to end them... There is a study by Ahona Roy entitled "Those Voices Unheard’: Re-negotiating Gender, Masculinity and Participation"... I hope this might be useful.

Even when women have been able to gain more equal rights and status in the domestic sphere, they have made much less progress at the level of the state or the political process . In the workplace, gender subordination is reinforced by the paternalistic treatment of women by male managers and male union leaders, who tend to dismiss women workers who complain, while, in the wider social sphere, women’s optimism is giving way to pessimism as they see progress becoming more difficult and fear that the future may not hold the same promises for their children that they once envisaged.

This is a difficult one but until we all learn to accept each other and tat each of us have a free will and a mind an intellect which can be used to make our own decisions things will never improve. If someone changes their faith it is a crime in the eyes of their country people their ethnic race or culture. If everyone is right who is wrong if someone leaves a birthfaith they are brainwashed if they stay then they are controlled. It was hoped that educating young people in all faiths would lessen this control mechanism however the seed is sociologically implanted and so ingrained that the individual cannot see the wood for the trees. Women struggle for equality and some have succeded in being recognised for their achievements but once again socialization dictates by society's norms and values and the values and norms of family life just what that role is. Respect for self for choice for individuality needs to begin with ones self and acceptance by others if that person's life choices also needs to be accepted they don't have to like it but a little tolerance goes a long way. Our gender religious upbringing and our culture are part of who we are sharing a tolerance of others for their religious beliefs and cultural makeup should also be part of who we are. Distrust and disliking someone because of their faith culture or gender should be ancient history. Education and enlightenment should have made us all older and wiser to see past what socialization has taught us and let us begin carving a shared future of tolerance and respect go all our genders cultures and religious beliefs.

It is impossible to end the inequalities between race and gender. Rather we should try to reduce it.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development includes realistic targets which to be implemented which address race and gender inequality globally. E. g. SDG 10 aims to reduce inequality within and between countries. The stakeholders in this process include academia as well as civil society, public bodies and other interested parties. In this respect, the onus is on us all to ensure that member states of the United Nations fulfil the ambitious goals of the 2030 Agenda which they agreed to.

The differences have been created by nature (Allah), human beings can not stop. It will continue. at some place it may be hidden.

At the human level it cannot be removed. Not only cultural differences but the unceasing tendency of certain people to rule over others by force can be releived only at the religious level. It requires more than human efforts. It assumes that we ourselves accept our own nature as sinful and admit that our love is not the real and perfect love. Mere human techniques, including law and democracy can only alleviate but cannot remove these problems.

This phenomenon, age-long,  is essentially social. "Inequalities" are  omnipresent in the sense that they exist in all countries and societies. They will always exist because all fingers are not equal (from Genesis period to present), even in the so-called Marxist/socialist or communist countries! Consequently,  we should rather talk about  cushioning the effects (not "removing" them entirely). Voila.   

Dear Uchem

It is indeed very hard... but as you seem to be a a very inquisitive learner may I suggest you to go through the meaning translation and explanation of last address of Holy Prophet  Muhammad (PBUH) I am not at all being religious although I wish to be... please go through it and you will find the solution.,,

It would be possible to end them if we appreacite that as time passes, there has been some notable chnages towards narrowing the gender gap for example in the NORDIC countries where gender parity is almost perfect. If we can learn the policies they have used and inculcate leadership goodwill to embrace such, there is a possibility that we can move towards a situation of gender parity. But this also depends on how much we embrace cultures and whether these cultures are pro gender parity. This implies that different countries may take different time frames to move to a desirable gener equitness. However, we also need to understand that most religions are gender skewed, meaning that a move towards gender equity and parity needs to negotiate with religious norms and it is the extent in which religious values can yield can we be sure to move towards gender equity, equality or parity. Therefore addressing issues of gender is a complex and a multifaceted phenomenon that will depend on the interplay of cultures, religions and the goodwill of leadership to accept that the current state of gender is anto developmental and has a glaring human rights connotation. These are process that can take long and perhaps thos explains that societies have taken centuries to move to an acceptable levels of gender parity

On race, this is even a complicated phenomenon , but it can still be doable. Perhaps we need to accept that many countries have made some marginal strides in overcoming racism, taking America and South Africa. However, perhaps why racism is a complicated phenomenon is that many especially who economiocally matter would like to keep a racial wall so that they maintain their status and such people happen to be supported by the ruling class. Perhaps having a liberal religious values that will inculcate in many of us that human beings have equal value of existence and that co existence is desirable, can we move significantly towards dismantling racism. But it is not easy. Perhaps the ruling class and the faith based organizations need to strengthen their advocacy and lobbying for all to undergo a pardigm shift in our attitudes and thinking towards fellow human beings. With love and the desire to reach out to the others we can weaken racial bonds and perhaps invite stronger forces against racism

I am Buddhist, and believe that sitting in meditation helps one  uncover the places where we separate from our direct experience and judge what we don't understand, leading to racism and sexism.

In every person's life there are many areas of intimate behaviors that a person can not stand for all to see. For example, sexual intercourse, defecation, urination ... If these actions are submitted to the public, it has always been a sign of brain diseases. Unfortunately, the media and the movies often make it for everyone to see. Suppose a person has a particular gender, or a particular sexual impulses. The right of everyone under the law to meet the sexual needs are (at home, not on the street). You can not impose a particular sexual attractions to other people. Thus, the human right to be a Human, and never impose filthy vices of others.

Dear Uchem,

This is a very controversial, yet almost  a permanent development agenda of all times! There has been a battle of mind as to what is good to who within our societies and now, at the global level. Gender inequality is understood differently in our different societies. It is easy to talk of "love" than equality in terms of gender since the later is ascribed to our  cultural and religious beliefs. Unfortunately again, we're not confident in ourselves to categorically say "this is wrong" for lack of agreed benchmarks of what is good for all. We live in a "belief system"  in which we 're not allowed to judge others, which is a major obstacle by itself in establishing a society free of gender inequality. Gender and racism are even talked with caution - which is an abstacle by itself. 

Dear all! Let me answer two quotations (below) about changing moral principles when reasoning about gender peculiarities in the modern world. Vladimir

"Thought without morality - thoughtlessness, morality without thinking - zealotry."

Basil Klyuchevskii.

"Two world wars, fostered by the barbarity and avarice, greatly reduced the overall level of intellectual and moral ..."

Thomas Mann

Dear Urchen

The project and question you threw on us is no doubt a broad one. I have seen the video and followed the answers too.... Your question is as simple as it is.... The solution is in the last address of Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) it is simple and straight. It is the Merit that is made by God on good deeds rather than creed, colour or gender. I am not a religious presenter but a simple common human being. The message in it for the whole Mankind and forever.... Please refer to it and I am sure you will find the answer in it...

Regards

For as long as people are allowed to hold diverging views and express those views freely, allowed the freedom of association, cultural social and religious belief  these inequalities would persist. People  of different regions have beliefs that define relationships.These inequalities cannot be completely eradicated however with  time  civility increases improving race and gender tolerance.

In the religions aspect if I can say as a buddhist, do not harm any beings in any terms whatsoever...It seems like very unlikely practice...but if you dive deep into the philosophy and understand what life is, you will realise the truth of being a person with love and kindness not only to the mankind but for the universe itself.
