In my opinion, females still don't equal with men and they are exposed to the different types of discrimination. But our state is trying to solve some problems.
First of all in some countries there are still lists of forbiden professions for woman. In 2017 Ukrainian government refused from this list. But it doesn't mean that employer would chose a woman rather than man. It comes from the stereotypes which are still exist in people's head. For example, some people claim that woman are less patient or strong than men.But it doesn't consider the fact that we are all individuals and have different characteristics.
Another major problems are double standards and objectification. Objectification is based on stereotypes and opinions about how the ideal woman looks and what she likes. We see it in everyday life on banners and TV, especially on the fashion show, where woman are thin and without excess hair. In the advirtisment we see how woman shave already smooth leg. Such standards don't worl for men. Average male person have hair all over their body and thy aren't blamed for theat and don't accused in false idea of body hygiene. This doesn't work with woman because of objectification. This is a pressing problem for all countries, not only Ukraine.
In addition to this, threre is another type of objectification as sexual objectification. The example of it is attribution of responsibility for the sexual assault to the female victim. Supporters of this point of view say that victim is guilty because she was wearing a short dress, or was in a alcoholic inebriation. Another example of this is slutshaming. It's based on statement that woman who has had different sexaul partners or had early sexual experience calls a woman of pleasure. This all is controlling woman's freedom of choices. By the way, in some countries domestic abuse is legal.
To sum up, we are all need to foght with stereotypes and not to be afraid to acknowledge our ignorance, but give a freedom if choices to all people irrespective of their gender.

In my opinion, females still aren't treated as equals to men and they are exposed to different types of discrimination. Our country is trying to solve some of these problems.
First of all, some country still have lists of forbidden professions for women. In 2017, the Ukrainian government refused this list. But this doesn't mean that employers are willing to hire women. It comes from the stereotypes which still exist in people's heads. For example, some people claim that women are less patient or not as strong as men. But they don't consider the fact that we are all individuals with different characteristics.
Other major problems are double standards and objectification. Objectification is based on stereotypes and opinions about how the ideal woman looks like and what she likes. We see it in everyday life on banners and TV, especially on fashion shows where women are thin and hairless. In advertisements, we see women shaving already smooth legs, such standards don't apply to men. The average man has hair all over his body and they are not shamed for that nor accused because of false ideas of body hygiene. This isn't the case with women, because of objectification. This is a pressing problem in all countries, not just Ukraine.
In addition to this, there is another type of objectification: sexual objectification.An example of it is the attribution of responsibility of the sexual assault to the female victim. Supporters of this point of view say that the victim is guilty because she was wearing a short dress or was intoxicated by alcohol. Another example of this is slut shaming. It's based on the belief that a woman who has had different sexual partners or had early sexual experiences is shameful. All this is controlling a woman's freedom of choice. By the way, domestic abuse is legal in some countries.
To sum up, we all need to fight stereotypes and not be afraid to acknowledge our ignorance, and give freedom of choice to all people, irrespective of their gender.
