Birth woman involves different realities depending on the socio-cultural location in which chance decides to locate each person. The available financial means, access to quality education, respect for people's autonomy and their ability to make decisions, to choose with whom to share time and to decide how to live the life, are all key conditions inseparable from being a woman because, even today, throughout the world, they mark inequality of opportunity in women's daily lives.

A girl who will grow up in Sapa, Vietnam, will work her whole life in the rice fields without being educated and will be forced into an early marriage arranged by her family. A teenager in Cienfuegos, Cuba, leaves high school with her friends and holds a flower with her love in mind. A woman in Accra, Ghana, elegantly holds on her head the products she sells on the road under the scorching sun all day.
