<![CDATA[In the modern era, gender equality has become one of the social issues receiving significant attention worldwide. Social changes driven by globalization, urbanization, and technological advancements have created opportunities for increased awareness of human rights and the importance of equality in various aspects of life.

To overcome these obstacles, more open dialogue and a fairer social system are needed. Keywords: Religion; Gender Equality; Contemporary Society.]]>
