A Brief Note On Niger And Gender Inequality

Gender inequality has maintained the suppression of women worldwide and unfortunately has impacted third world countries with the greatest magnitude. Everyday in these countries there are countless occurrences of physical, emotional, and psychological abuse that must be acknowledged as a primary concern for the world to help overcome.

While keeping this in mind it is of paramount importance to keep sight of the consequences of abusing these cultural practices at the expense of women’s liberation and development.

Throughout the semester, we have discussed many different social justice issues. One issue that has stuck with me is gender and racial inequality. Gender inequality is very important to me because I was raised by a single mother and surrounded by women all the time. I do not believe that anyone should be payed or treated differently due to their gender. While growing up, I saw that women are capable for doing anything and often times have to work harder than men to prove themselves. Racial inequality is an issues that is important to me because I feel that all individuals should be equal. I think Dr. King’s idea of color blindness, not today’s definition, should be something that we as a society strive for. We need to move past the idea that

To begin with, it might be necessary to define the terms of Gender inequality and ethnic inequality in employment. While gender disadvantage refers to the prejudicial treatment of an individual or group based solely on issues of gender (Robert, 2008); ethnic inequality indicates the unfair distribution of opportunities and resources between the majority white and ‘black and minority ethnic groups’ in the labour market. The two issues have been rooted in the job market for long, and despite recent progress of improvement, the issues remain and probably have evolved into more covert and complex forms. In the following context, the two kinds of disadvantages will firstly be introduced respectively, together with reasons behind the scene; yet, acknowledge the relevance of gender differences to ethnic inequality, the explanations given for BME group’s predicament will be aware of the overlaps between gender and ethnicity issues; a brief conclusion will also be provided in the final part, however, given the complexity of the picture, for example, the extent to which women and men from different ethnic groups experience disadvantages varies (Vittachi, 2011), it is hard to generalise and any predictions about future prospect may not be realized.

According to Maryan Qasim, an advisor in the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia and an expert in women 's rights, the most dangerous thing women can do in Somalia is not go to war, but give birth (Qasim). Over the past decade the country has not only struggled with gender inequality, but with civil war (Somalia country profile). To this day, the country remains in conflict and anarchy. Without laws or a solid form of government, the Somali people suffer from drought, famine and destitution (Qasim). The Gender Inequality Index in Somalia is .776, placing Somalia at the fourth highest position globally (Gender in Somalia). This statistic includes many factors and results from not only the lack of

Nigeria is located in West Africa along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean and bordered by Cameroon and Benin to the east and west respectfully. It is comprised of over 180 million and is considered one of the most populated nations in the world. It is a nation that is ruled by a caste of politicians, wealthy business men, and the educated elite. The rest of the nation is subjugated to sub-par living standards and mediocre health care. At a glance one would think that Nigerians are doing well for themselves as they have one of the largest economies on the continent; however most Nigerians are forced to live in squander and are not given much of a chance to improve their lot.

Gender and disability operates as structures of oppression and inequality for both disabled women and men. The intersection between gender, disability, and socioeconomic status causes persons with disabilities to become the most vulnerable and marginalized group. Prevalence of violence against women and youth with disabilities is higher than that among their non-disabled counterparts. Their experiences of violence often remain hidden and unaddressed due to barriers to accessing education, social services, and legal assistance. Uganda is one of the few states in the Sub-Saharan Africa region who have some of the most solid legal framework and best practices to prevent and eliminate GBV. The Ugandan's Government has been developing and implementing laws and policies to support gender equality, empower women and persons with disabilities. Various laws are put into practice to prohibit discrimination based on gender, and to combat gender-based violence.

This brief paper examines my application of the feminist research methodology to my future research. My research topic is centred on what role law has to play to balance the interest between the environmental hazards affecting the Climate and satisfying the basic energy need of poor women living in the rural area of Nigeria who depends solely on the crudest form of Biomass “Firewood, charcoal, animal dung and agricultural by-products” for the purposes of domestic and commercial cooking activities and, which continuous use amounts to deforestation, desertification.” In this context, SD means improving the quality of life of human beings (includes women) and the community in which they live in for as long as the world exist. In view of these definitions, the aims of this paper are to: reveal how best the feminist approach can be applied to my above research, consider the pros and cons of applying the said methodology to my proposed area of research and its possibility of affecting my originally intended methodology.
