Constantly, people hear rape crimes, sexual abuse, and the inequality between women and men on a everyday bases. Not only is this situation happening intensely in the United States, it becomes even more fierce in third-world countries such as India. Controversies surrounding women’s image and status should be resolved locally and internationally. It is not something that is completely irrelevant to us, it could happen to anyone, you, your friends, and even your family members. So, when people are talking misconceptions about the image of women, or giving funny comments about a serious issue that is relating to women, please stand up and defend for women’s rights. Any defensive action might have a chance of saving a life, strengthening women’s rights, and protecting their dignity. Women should not be told of what to wear, how to act, and when to play; men should be told not to

Women rights movement’s dates back to the nineteenth century as the female gender was seeking to have a place in the society where they have their rights and entitlement fairly given to them. It was instigated by the fact that the male population by making them feel as less beings in the society. This is because they were not entitled to having their views brought out. However, in the 1970’s efforts to secure equal rights for women by eradicating gender discrimination put by institution, laws and various behavioural pattern meet serious activism (Barrett. 2014). The reforms enjoyed currently concerning women empowerment is as a result of all the atrocities that they went through at this time. It is, therefore, evident to say that the challenges faced by women in the 1970’s rights movement gave birth to new opportunities such as coming up with severe laws on gender discrimination, pushed for the Title IX law and defining rape as a crime.

They have a hard time finding who they are as a person. Adolescence is a period of time where kids are putting into circumstance that are hard to understand until they go through them hardship themselves. In “Saplings in the Storm” girls were analyzed to give better understanding of girl’s emotion when they are going through adolescence. Stated in the article, “In early adolescence, studies show that girls’ IQ scores drop and their resiliency and optimism and become less curious and inclined to take risks. They lose their assertive, energetic and “tomboyish” personalities and come more deferential, self- critical and depressed” (19). Girls try to fit the social stands of being a “girl” and in the end they bring themselves down mentally. Adults don’t understand the social stand because they aren’t completely the same anymore. In today’s society girls have to grow up so fast. Girls start wearing makeup at a young age, start wearing scandalize clothes, and have sexual encounters early. Having to go through all these mild stones may make it hard to be themselves and have

This paper attempts to examine the fictional projections of Indian girls, to see how they emerge in ideological terms. Their journeys from self-alienation to self-adjustment, their childhood struggles against the hypocrisies and monstrosities of the grown-up world, eventually demolishing the unjust male constructed citadels of power that hinder their progress- are the highlighted issues. The point of comparison between the two novels focused on here is the journey of Rahel in The God of Small Things and Sai in The Inheritance from a lonely childhood to a tragic adulthood passing through a struggle with the complex forces of patriarchal society. Both the novels portray the imaginativeness, inventiveness, independence, rebelliousness, wide-eyed wonder and innocence associated with these young girls.

All of those disadvantages for women in modern society are affecting young girls, and it is hard to raise daughters in today’s culture. We as a country should not just let this inequality continue. Men and women should be treated equally and it is important for parents to raise their kids to make the future less

The oppression of women and girls in the developing world is this era’s most pervasive human rights violation. In the world today, being a girl means being sentenced to a life of poverty, abuse, exploitation and deprivation. Denied the most basic human rights, millions of girls and women are deprived of education, security, and most importantly, a voice. And yet, despite the cruel circumstances they endure, girls and women constantly strive to rise above their oppression. Marina Nemat, author of the memoir, Prisoner of Tehran and Meena Hasina from Nicholas D. Kristoff’s Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide are testaments of the bravery and willpower of women.

The “girlchild” was given dolls that represented outer and superficial beauty and did things that society views as standards, like being pretty, thin, and wearing makeup all the time, and cooking in the kitchen. Therefore, she wasn’t taught how to be emotionally strong, and how to protect herself from all the harsh reality.

Consequently, this mindset, which is heavily based on tradition, prevented little girls from exploring their talents and capabilities because their fathers, brothers and sometimes even mothers decide 12 years is old enough to be women, force them to quit school and possibly even marry them off. Additionally, this form of discrimination, which is not practiced only by men but women as well, denied women certain academic opportunities. Therefore, a large number of women in those communities are hurdled from reaching their full potential and partaking in the improvement and development of our society and country.

Mohandas K. Gandhi once proclaimed, “There is no occasion for women to consider themselves subordinate or inferior to men” (Gandhi n.p.). Women all throughout the world have been forced to endure innumerable hardships and struggles. Merely accepting women as a rightful component of society and a necessary aspect of culture has taken countless numbers of years. And to this day, unfortunately, gender equality has yet to become a reality for many. Certain judgments and stereotypes have been placed onto women from the very beginning of time. The belief that the female gender should only be seen in society as homemakers is something that is widely accepted by people in a multitude of countries and places. Despite the setbacks, various

In Girl Rising (2013), it reveals how gender discrimination negatively affects the future of many women and continues to be prominent in society through forced marriages, extreme poverty, and/or labor obstacles.

Women all around the world have done a lot of sacrifices to get both name and fame in the world. Some of the examples are Ellen Degeneres, Oprah Winfery, Kalpana Chawla, Janet Jackson etc. These women helped a lot for uplifting the women status in the entire world and most of the girls follow their footprints to get famous like them in future. But still there are a lot of women who are working in fields, as a maid worker and in industries in poor condition. These women are facing problems such as sexual abuse, harassment and high level of violence. In this reaction paper I will be discussing about the sexual abuse, health issues due to sexual favours, harassment and high level of violence that women have to go through every day in order to

Many girls throughout the world are prevented from receiving an education against their will, and must instead fulfill their set gender role in society. As described in I am Malala, Girls are seen as lesser than men, and are put at an unfair starting point in life. Education for girls is important, as it is imperative to treat girls with fairness and allow them the same rights as men. This could benefit a country’s wealth and society, showing how it is illogical to keep girls from an education. Girls in the Middle East have limited rights to education, preventing countries from benefiting from an improved economy and living standards.

Mahatma Gandhi once said, “Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.” Due to the community and the circumstances of a girl’s birth, development and opportunities are drastically limited for young girls all across the world. In many continents, such as Africa and Asia, women strive for the ability to learn, develop, and obtain the same opportunities as men despite the consequences of sexual abuse, beatings, and other troubling events that lie ahead. In many places, men are entitled to rights and opportunities that society often denies women. Society also discourages women from receiving an education, while at the same time, promoting education for males.

Girls, young women, and mature mothers. Society has consistently given women strict guidelines, rules and principles on how to be an appropriate member of a man’s society. These rules are set at a young age and enforced thoroughly into adulthood. When not followed accordingly, women often times too many face reprimanding through means of verbal abuse, physical abuse, or social exile. In the midst of all these strict guidelines and social etiquette for girls, a social rebellion started among girls and women and gender roles were broken, however the social rebellion did not and does not affect all girls and women. For instance, in less socially developed places, young girls on the brink of womanhood are still strongly persuaded to be a man’s idea of a “woman”.

Traditionally, an Indian woman had only four roles and those were; Her role as a daughter, wife, sister, and lastly, a mother. The women in today’s time however are experiencing far reaching changes and are entering into new fields that were unknown to them. They are actively participating in social, economic and political activities. Unlike the older times, women today have received higher education.
