Discrimination In Iraq

While some parents think that their rules are equal to both their sons and daughters, these parents tend to put more pressure and rules towards their daughters. While some may claim this is necessary for safety, I believe that it’s unfair. It is true that danger and violence is easily targeted towards women and girls because of what society considers “weak” but there is no question that parents are less lenient towards boys rather than girls. Society portrays women and young girls to hold a house hold together, cook, clean, watch the kids, etc. Most women and girls are not even expected to get far in education, and even some STEM field subjects like science, technology, engineering, and mathematics have always been a problem for women and young girls because these subjects are more male dominated. I see that there are many restrictions

Over time woman have been demoralized by men in standards of society. Woman are held back from certain things that men are allowed to participate in. Tradition has always been for women to follow in the footsteps of men. Educationally and economically woman are held back. Equality is a word with an ever-changing definition. Society plays a major role in the submission and degradation of women. The demoralization of women was so severe they believed the only capabilities they had were making babies and playing home maker. Even though that was a woman’s only worth in society, there were a few brave souls who set out to change that. Gender norms set expectations for behaviors, but penalized those that do not conform to those norms (Gender

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.

There are tremendous changes over the past quarter of a century in female life around the world. The rate of educated female has increased a lot, which is more than that at any time in history. Also, in a third of the developing countries, the number of girls is more than boys in school. And female rate in wok is 40 percent of the global. However, before changing, many female’s life was different. Male’s rights and power oppressed female’s. It is especially shown in many developing countries, such as Mexico.

These two boys were having a little rap battle. One of the kids happened to be middle eastern, and as they were going back a forth. The boy told the middle eastern kid “at least I don't bomb people!” This crossed the line however people were laughing; others including myself just stood there not saying a word. I am disappointed that people laughed about this topic because it is extremely disrespectful, but I do not regret standing up for the boy, because he was asking for it. Also, I have witnessed discrimination at the airport, while traveling to England. While I was waiting in line at the airport to get through the metal detectors, I noticed a lady just a couple of people ahead of me wearing a headdress or hijab. When the time had come for

“America was founded on the principle of religious freedom. As a nation we must continue to seek the fair treatment of all, even as we grapple with the concerns raised by the recent terrorist attacks. When people come to work and are unfairly harassed or otherwise targeted based on their religion or national origin, it undermines our shared and longstanding values of tolerance and equity for all (Yang, 2015).” This is a very true and important statement, yet discrimination is still seen daily. Muslims make up less than two percent of the U.S. population but they were part of a quarter off the 3,386 religious discrimination claims filed with the EEOC in 2009 (Greenhouse, 2010). Below is an analysis of the impact

Since the age, every country, developed or not, have been observed in the impact of gender discrimination, women and men, people of the ruling has been suppressed. With the spread of education among the masses, and the more awareness among the people in the way of realizing the value of equality between man and woman. With the passage of time, people have begun to realize the worth of a woman, a family and a society in a country. A better education for girls, and more attention was given to a healthy life and a bright future.

The antiquity of women in the Middle East is intriguing to those who have interest in hardships and containment. “Iraq’s second-worst ranking reflects a dramatic deterioration in conditions for women since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. Mass displacement has made women vulnerable to trafficking and sexual violence. The Iraqi penal code allows men who kill

¨Gender norms and stereotypes reinforce gendered identities and constrain the behaviour of women and men in ways that lead to inequality.¨ Some factors lead to discrimination such as “a lack of legal rights and very little independence from their husbands, to being thought to have inferior brains.” Lack of education available or allowed to women has stemmed from the lack of respect and mistreatment of young girls and women in the Middle East, Africa and the Asian Pacific. Raden Ajeng Kartini was the national heroine for women’s rights in Indonesia, and made the womenś place is in the home appears to be no longer valid. She opened the first native school for girls in Indonesia that did not discriminate based on social status. Raden also protested the gender inequality of Javanese traditions such as forced marriages at a young age, which denied women the freedom to pursue an education. Original thoughts of women caused discrimination and the lack of girls in or completing school. This can lead to many other problems such as poverty, unemployment, lack of education/literacy, lack of respect/job opportunities for women. Discrimination against women leads to violence against them as well with a one in four men admitting to rapping a woman 9 in all of Asian Pacific. Women not becoming educated can lead to gender gaps in pay with these being more prevalent in developing countries. Men being favored in admission to college is higher the lower the GDP as well. In

As mentioned earlier, discrimination against girls starts at domestic level, thus it gets its roots strengthened in the very beginning of girls childhood due to parental behavior. When toys for the babies are bought: guns, vehicles and strength showing items are considered for baby boys. Besides, when they turn older, they are allowed to visit their friends, play and roam outside, and be autonomous. This develops the idea in their minds that boys are born brave and they can decide for themselves. On the contrary, dolls, household items like cooking utensils and innocence depicting things are being bought for girls. This treatment makes them feel that girls are born delicate and their primary duty is to do household chores like cooking. In addition, parents put the thought in their daughters' mind that being a girl she should be hospitable, compromising and tolerant, following restrictions like wearing culturally appropriate clothing and are limited to the boundaries of home (Ali et al., 2011). However, no such restrictions are faced by boys. They wear according to their own choice and are not home bound, as well. Parental behavior is followed by the factor patriarchal society, i.e., the male dominated society. Since, Pakistan is a country governed primarily by males so the prevailing culture favors them

Women are the one of most oppressed groups of people among all civilizations and nations of the world. Throughout history, women have been belittled, abused, and discriminated against. They have been second-class citizens and seen as objects through almost all civilizations and throughout most of human history. The ideology behind these views has been challenged, but still women all around the world have continued to be oppressed and silenced as a result of practices in today’s societies that perpetuate the oppression of women and the continuation of gender-based violence and discrimination. Ending these practices is key to the end of gender-based discrimination, as the control and silencing of women cannot happen otherwise. In many developing nations, the oppression of women is continued due to many cultural traditions that have the effect of limiting a girl’s autonomy and agency, from even before adulthood. I decided to focus on South and Southeastern Asia, where many women are not given the same rights and agency as men. Many women throughout South and Southeast Asia suffer from gender-based discrimination and are barred from achieving equality with men for a number of reasons: extreme poverty throughout the region, a prevalence of cultural traditions in this region rooted in controlling female sexuality, practices surrounding marriage customs, and the valuing of male children over female children.

Do you think it is okay to discriminate against people because of their beliefs? In America today this is a problem for Muslims. Because of recent events happening in the world such as the terrorist bombing in Paris and the attack in London, all Muslims are seen as terrorist by some Americans. These Americans feel that having Muslims in the U.S is unsafe because they fear that they are part of ISIS. This rejection of Muslims is similar to the treatment of Japanese Americans during World War II because both were seen as threats. Although discrimination against minorities in the United States has improved in the past decades, Americans have become more fearful of Muslim refugees entering the United States because of recent terrorist attacks (Islamophobia).

As the youngest of six children, I have seen many friends of my family come and go through the years. Three examples of discrimination stick out in my mind.

The manner in which myth, religious dogma and tradition are used to control a woman’s freedom and block her natural impulses to live and grow as men do, and the manner in which her education and career are purposely delimited to deprive her of freedom from dependency are revealed as the two powerful social forces that delay the development of the Indian female child. Kapur’s female protagonists are mostly educated, hopeful individuals cages within the norms of a conservative

Discrimination against female children has been a topic of debate. It has been a subject of concern and sociological significance. This subject raises the cultural aspects about the role of a female child in society, what her human rights are as a human being and a number of sensitive issues.This issue is important because there is nearly universal consensus on the need for gender equality.[1] Gender based discrimination against female children is pervasive across the world. It is seen in all the strata of society and manifests in various forms.[2] As per the literature, female child has been treated inferior to male child and this is deeply engraved in the mind of the female child. Some argue that due to this inferior treatment the
