Correct Answer: discrimination


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

The context indicates that despite progress, women still face challenges, and the word that best conveys these challenges is discrimination. It implies unfair treatment based on gender.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Issues mean problems or difficulties.
  • Tolerance is the acceptance of diverse opinions or behaviours.
  • Equality is the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, or opportunities.

Therefore, the correct answer is discrimination.
