INTRODUCTION Historically, women were thought of as inferior in physical strength, religious traditions, philosophical and have faced intense discrimination from a lack of legal rights and very little independence from their husbands and society at large. In many societies, women have long been viewed as less than fully human. Christine de Pizan in her book “The Book of the City of Ladies”1405, wrote that the oppression of women is founded on irrational prejudice, pointing out numerous advances in
Over the last few decades and even today in 2017, feminism has been a widely debated topic. The misunderstanding in regards to what feminism is and the reason behind it play a large role in this issue. Before the feminist movement, women were pretty much considered second class citizens. Feminism is more than just angry, male hating women protesting. Feminism is about change, equality and opportunity for women of all races and age.

Report on CEDAW of 2014), South Africa (South African Shadow Report on the Implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women of 2011), and Pakistan (INSERT REPORT HERE). I’ve chosen to do a cross analysis between how the women’s movements have responded to the actions taken by the government in regards to discrimination/equality and human trafficking/prostitution. I feel that the diverse nature of each of these countries will provide an interesting perspective

Fantasy – Black Fact, racism and prejudice is a main theme present in the text. We have three distinct groups: an aboriginal (black) family, a white bus driver and a few car drivers, and a gang of bikers. In Davis’s short story we see a black family who faces many struggles from racial and economic discrimination, either from them others or to them performing the acts themselves. At the beginning of the story we are presented with the thoughts of the white bus driver who thinks everyone in his country

On September 15th, the 11th U.S Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a claim in 2014 which allowed employers to discriminate against black hairstyles with emphasis on dread locks. In 2010 a black woman named Chasity Jones was denied employment at a company in Mobile, Alabama because of her dread locks she was approached by a human resource agent and it was explained to her that her chances of being hired at the company would increase if she was to change her hairstyle and once Mrs. Jones reused to abide
