Gender equality has always been and continues to be a struggle, but with more awareness being shed on this problem, it has been improving on a local and global scale.

Activists believe non-human animals should be granted the same protection under the law as humans, because they are implemented unethical treatment in factory farms, used needlessly for scientific research, and have a similar biological make up to humans, while the opposition argues that animal equality is immoral because of the Christian belief only humans are made in the image of God.
