From a Western, European perspective: closing the pay gap, for one. It's simply unacceptable and one of my hugest bugbears.
More generally, issues with sexuality (objectification of women, a promiscuous woman being a slut whereas a man is a stud, rape victims being told that they were asking for it if they dress in 'provocative' manner).
In a worldwide sense, so very, very, very many aspects.
i have never encountered at my work level a difference in pay level between men and woman. but i wont deny at senior management level it happens. our country is notorious for slighting women in powerful senior rolls. i hate this country some times. Although, playing devils advocate.... ive never had a female boss that ive liked. In their desperation to be considered at the same league as male bosses, they turn themselves into high class bitches. Ive had four female bosses and two male, all the women were catty, bitchy and aggressive.
currently at our place there is two women Dean of Schools and one woman as Secretary (not PA kind) for the Vice Chancellor. And the latter is one major bitch.
there is no need for women in power to be bitches.
