Wrap up
This course taught me how to correctly view the equal status of women and respect the rules of international development.
This course focuses on the relationship between gender and development, and it focuses on women and international development, which is a common theme, and you can study it if you're interested. I love it.
In contemporary society, there is still male chauvinism, and many people despise the development of women. This course is very well described and close to the development of The Times. It's worth seeing.
This course is very engaging. I'm very heartened to see employers beginning to recognize the importance of these issues. This was put together nicely, in my opinion. Thank you.
