How do you upgrade women in Buddhism?

I am afraid that this question makes no sense. There is no upgrading of men or women in Buddhism. Men and women are to be treated as equals.

Monks and Nuns dedicate their lives to reaching enlightenment and to aiding others. Therefore they do not marry or hold jobs.
