There are no countries in which more women are imprisoned than in the United States. American women make up 5% of the world's total female population, but they account for nearly one-third of female prisoners in the world. In addition, even as the male population declines, the number of girls in youth facilities is still increasing, and girls and girls with children are increasingly entering the citizen immigration control system. However, due to the size and extent of the population of male prisons during mass detention, it is easy to overlook the specific challenges faced by these women and girls in participating in the justice system. Through the American Gender and Justice blog series, Vera explores the problems facing judicial women and girls in areas such as adult correction, juvenile justice, immigration, sacrifice, physical use and mental health.

Therefore, Canadian students must understand, analyze and act on gender inequality, and must cooperate for gender justice.
Gender justice is human rights, and all women and girls have the right to live in dignity and freedom without any fear.

Women's representatives in the world democratic system remain low, and in one third of the world, women occupy less than 10% of parliament. The results of gender equality in the effectiveness of aid are generally less favored
