Equal Rights For Women And Girls
News regarding women and girls getting dreadful treatments and unequal rights have been really common in the past, even until this day. UDHR states that ‘everyone has the right to an education’, but this statement has been denied to majority of the girls across the globe. It often occurs in least developed countries. There are many barriers for girls to get an education, and this issue has remained controversial. Poverty remains the main factor for determining whether a girl can gain access to an education and the cultural norms such as forcing the girls into a marriage, as well as living in a non-digital environment. The world needs to be more aware of these issues in those least developed countries, but most

Only 51% of the women population are literate, and 58 million children of primary school are out of school. More importantly, 53% of them are girls. Poverty remains the main factor behind them, as their families do not have the financial ability to support them. More organisations such as Camfed, Project Nanhi Kali, should advocate for female education. They are NGOs that help advocate female education in Africa and India, that sponsor kids with free education, in order to ensure they have a better life in the near future (Camfed - Campaign for Female Education, 2018). A Bangladeshi girl who was only aged 10, was forced into a marriage with someone she doesn 't know. Later on she escaped and was rescued with the help of Child Forum Coordinators. Since then, she got sponsored by the organisation, and became an advocate for other children. This clearly demonstrates how powerful education is, as it can change a person’s life (Girls’ education, 2018) Even though there are many organisations out there, but the voices are barely heard by others. The world should be more aware of this issue so that more girls will pursue a better …show more content…
In order to ensure equal rights for girls and women, they should be given the opportunity to utilise technology. Leach (2018) states that majority of the Indian girls have not accessed to using basic technology due to economic reasons. Fortunately, with World Bank Organisation’s help, the girls are now able to access to the internet. WBO now provides stipends and scholarships, and also places the underprivileged girls in digital environments, just so they can catch up with the world (Girls ' Education, 2018). Media is a broad platform that provides information from all kind of aspects. Media is also very influential and it can help expand the girls’ views. Media also enables them to develop a better understanding of the world issues, and they will be more aware of the circumstance that they are currently in. Not having the ability to wisely utilise technology will be hard for one to adapt to today’s world as technology has become an important part in our lives. Narrow-minded people in India discourage girls from using technology as they fear the girls will overthrow them and eventually have a higher position in the society (Girls ' Education, 2018). This is why education is important and people need to change their mindset immediately. The world should acknowledge the fact that both genders are equal and we have an interdependent relationship with each others. Girls and
Some of the smartest people this earth has ever known have been from the 19th century. Well, Mary Wollstonecraft was not the first person to person to fight for woman equal rights, but she is a person that had a sizable impact in her time. Woman have made vast progress from this day and age. Some of the most immense people to make a difference from 1790 to 1884 are Mary Wollstonecraft, Fredrick Engels, and John Mill. There are some why i believe that these historic figures were rational thinkers was because they always gave a reason behind what they believe in.
Women throughout the course of history have been seen as inferior to men. Our society has been based on gender roles since the beginning of time. This was no different in America, the roles of women have always been housework, raising children, and tending to their husbands while the traditional roles of men were to be the breadwinners of their households. Men were allowed to get an education and vote while women were not. This is not to say that these roles have been challenged.
Before the 1900s, women were portrayed as fragile individuals incapable of taking part in any hard work or making any decisions for themselves. Their dreams of taking part in the economy, politics, and society were denied simply due to their gender. It wasn’t until suffragists such as Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton decided to take a stand in 1848 and hold a meeting known as the Seneca Falls Convention. This was the first step towards a change for women’s rights that had lasting effects on American society. This suffrage movement grew influence throughout the Civil War and even post-war to the point where women all over the United States joined the suffragists in fighting for thier rights.
For nearly one hundred and fifty years, The United States of America claimed to be made “By the people, for the People” but denied the most basic rights to half of the population. Women were seen by American society as second-class citizens, existing exclusively to assist others and be subservient to men. Many women during this time did not agree on this topic and choose to fight back against the patriarchy. Women like this just wanted to have the same respect as any other man in society. The women who fought back were largely associated with the National Women Suffrage Association.
The past advanced the equal rights for women and ceased inequality for women in politics. Women have significantly gained improved rights and it is still improving to this day. Women gained the right to vote, they gained the right to new opportunities that men had, and they have no limitations to what they choose to do. Women are able to decide their own decisions and create a path for themselves instead of relying on the men. What if the women were to have all the power instead of the men?
During his time as a president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, evoked a set of programs, that passed multiple laws in order to improve the country, this was met with criticism and praise. I feel that the deal is mostly regarded highly, because, this was initiated, during a time where the country was struggling immensely, and they felt any help was the best help. But, the deal still had many positives, that, though were not the traits of a full blown revolution for the country, but instead exemplified more of a halfway revolution. There are many different programs and laws passed during this time, but I feel that, Social Security, Civil and equal rights, and the expansion of arts and writing, showed progress and potential for growth. The idea
DBQ Communism and Women’s Rights Adelaida Urrea In the twentieth century, communist movements encouraged the involvement of women to their societies, depending on them for the development of modern societies based primarily on equality. Therefore women started to gain political equality and economic power through the different opportunities given by the Communist Party that allowed them to incorporate as respectable members in society. Nevertheless, at the beginning of the 20th century, there was still certain discrimination against women, who have always been associated with a submissive position; however communist leaders understood the importance of giving women public recognition in order to improve their rights, change these past
In the twentieth century, women endured many struggles regarding their rights. The government had central rules placed on them. Women cannot vote, Muslim women must wear head coverings, women cannot own property, and so forth. In the twentieth century, communist movements affected women's struggles for rights by placing down laws against women, protesting feminism, and changing the system.
Women play a vital role for the human population. Although women populate the earth with humans, women have little rights. During the 1500s and twentieth century, women had little rights in labor and productivity. Women often resided as housewives; caring for children, cooking and cleaning. Often, females did not receive proper education and forced to work in unsafe and sanitary working conditions, such as sweat factories or field work.
This idea has been diffused over centuries, but people now are trying to impede gender disparity and efface it. To conclude, we find ourselves on a dilemma. On one side we have machism and men thinking they are better than women and vice versa. On the other, we have people who are just looking for gender equality.
With the insult the men of Afghanistan face being a simple education for their very own daughters, it is quite clear that women are degraded within society and treated as lesser human beings. The thought of denying one a right as simple as an education is what is really holding the society of Afghanistan back and blatantly exposes women's unequal rights. With these rights being
There has been progress, today, more girls and women are literate than ever before, and in a third of developing countries, there are more girls in school than boys. Women now make up over 40 percent of the global labour force. In some areas, however, progress toward gender equality has been limited—even in developed countries. Girls and women who are poor, live in remote areas, are disabled, or belong to minority groups continue to lag behind. Too many girls and women are still dying in childhood and in the reproductive ages.
Analysis Issue Nowadays, there are still women not allowed to be educated in some countries. This issue is drawing more and more attention. Many countries are starting to make a big step towards the goal of gender equality in education but there are still 62 million women in the world who are not allowed to attend education. Causes Poverty, religions and tradition are the main causes of gender inequality in education. In most of the undeveloped countries, there are lots of families thinking that a female is not as valuable to them comparing to a male because they believe that after the female get married they will not gain anything because the female
Media are platforms of mass communication that can be categorized as either new of traditional media, with new media being forms of communication that make use of technologies such as the Internet, and traditional media being more conventional forms of media such as newspapers. Media, primarily new media, is getting more popular and influential, especially in today’s day and age since we are exposed to it a lot more than in the past and also since media is more easily accessible now. The media can shape our behaviours, perceptions and opinions, and it is important to know how people are influenced and impacted by it. The media can influence someone’s perception of social reality, or perceptions of beauty or even influence people’s behaviours and habits and therefore, the media does shape who we are. One way that the media can shape who we are is by influencing our perception of social reality.
Gender equity faces obstacles like the lack of education for both boys and girls, and the challenges of deviating from societal stereotypes and norms. Nevertheless, if actors from the private and public sector come together, public policy can be created to strengthen women’s lives and rights. Why Gender Equality is Important A Social Justice Issue Women cannot escape poverty, be adroit, nor become autonomous, if they do not have a good-paying job. This is difficult to attain without higher education, in a society who dismisses their employment applications and that teaches women they are submissive and physically, cognitively, and psychologically inferior to men.
