Women's rights have progressed at an astonishing pace over the past 100 years. As part of the BBC's 100 Women series we asked you to send us your thoughts on what it is like to be a woman in the 21st Century.
The responses revealed differences, including how female empowerment is defined around the world.
BBC News users in some African and Middle Eastern cultures view empowerment as the freedom from fear of physical and sexual abuse. Some in Europe, though, stress how they want the freedom to follow a more traditional path, as primary care-giver and mother, instead of being an equal breadwinner.
Universally, women told us they believed education was the key to changing sexist attitudes and practices in society.

ABOUT US:

Let's start by telling you that the role and conception of Peruvian women has radically changed in the globalized world over the years and this is due to the fact that in ancient Peru, women were dedicated to working from home and were also assigned exclusively to housework and to the care of their children. Children, this was what society used to do to maintain a social order. On the other hand, in the political sphere, Peruvian women could not cast a vote until September 7, 1956, which was on that date that the female vote in Peru was approved during the government of Manuel A. Odría, who promulgated the Law N ° 12391 that only allowed adult and literate women to have the right to choose and be elected, being the penultimate country in Latin America to grant this right. In other words, women have been separated from the "world" in many aspects, since they were not taken into account for fundamental things, which, today has changed a lot compared to before, although we are still on the road to much more. However, women in today’s society are an example of intelligence and strength, which is reflected in the ability to overcome the challenges of discrimination against us. Despite the fact that we consider ourselves to be an egalitarian and tolerant society, there is still male chauvinists, who keep us in the margins; they ignore the fact that women are as capable as men, to assume the responsibilities, obligations and activities that we set out to do because we are able to think, discern and decide on different circumstances. And it is that just as there have been radical changes over time, there are still some stereotypes that women have for years, such as their physical characteristics, where it is sought that the woman has the "perfect body", and this we get to see everywhere, from street panels to television. Just as there are streotypes, prejudices also continue, in jobs, where there is a great disadvantage with the opposite gender, there are even cases in which women are paid less than men. Nowadays we see how it is that women are victims of sexual, physical and psychological violence, which is becoming more and more worrying, and it is pitiful to see how the victim becomes the possible culprit in those situations. Women are not a weak gender as they say out there, we are a power that could achieve a lot and defend their rights to be free and not depend on anyone. Women deserve the same rights as men, they deserve respect, stop seeing them as a sexual object, as an object that belongs to someone, because women go beyond that, they have fought for all the things they have now and that they must have had from the beginning.
