The Degree Of Education For Women

Education surrounds partially the entire world. Children, women, and men all attend school in America to build knowledge in order to find a job and make money. However, there are some places around the world where only men have access to education. For instance, Pakistan; located in South Asia, numerous amount of girls do not receive the education like other girls in America. This is specifically a problem for children, especially girls in Pakistan because they are not going to school like the girls in America, achieving the same level of education. Instead, they are seen as weak and are restricted from doing many things that men are allowed to do, like playing sports, going to school, participating in public events, and even being seen in public. Malala, a girl from Pakistan, sees the educational inequality where she lives and decides to fight for her educational freedom. Malala’s establishes her emotional appeals, credibility, and statistics to promote education for children in Pakistan by revealing her struggles fighting for

Females are discriminated against, mistreated, and are valued less since women and girls are not allowed to attend school and higher education. There are approximately 35 million girls not enrolled in elementary school. This explains why two-thirds of illiterate people over the age of 15 are females. Malala Yousefszai is an advocate for girls’ education all over the world. We learned that she was shot by the Taliban for standing up for education when we had to watch the video where she was on The Daily Show. Malala said that men don't want women to get an education, because then women would become more powerful. Having an education brings power. Her father was a great encouragement for her because he spoke out

Girls make up more than 54% of the uneducated population and it’s because if women were educated they would understand how unjust their way of living is and would stand up for themselves. Malala Yousafzai from Pakistani stood up for herself and her education and as a result got shot on a bus ride to school one day in October of 2012. But after speaking out and traveling to various seminars to project her knowledge of the conditions of living she was born into to everyone she was awarded the ‘2014 Nobel Peace Prize’ just last year. It makes you wonder how many people are being starved of education and suppressed of a well-deserved

“I don’t mind if I have to sit on the floor at school. All I want is an education,” said Malala Yousafzai, Pakistani activist for female education. In today's society, many people don’t realize how grateful they should be for the education they receive. Even the slightest education is much more than people were receiving just three centuries ago, and even more than people in countries besides the United States of America. In specifics, women and African Americans were once unable to pursue any form of education in the United States, along with many other ethnicities.

In America, girls and boys across the country have the privilege to be enrolled in an educational system. For thirhteen years, students are taught by college educated teachers and learn material to help us move forward in our carrier. Americans take this opportunity without even thinking about it, but do not realize how much students take this for granted. In the school I have been placed in, my teacher took it upon herself to show us education in different cultures, and the outcome of the lesson was shocking for me. In the book A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, readers realize how much women are looked down upon in Afghanistan, yet it was eye opening for me to see what these girls are missing out on. From birth, they are categorized are lesser than men. Never getting the same chances, their life is centered around pleasing their husband. Education is not even an option for most women. I believe all women should have the same opportunity in this world, despite what country they reside in.

Globally women do not have the same chances for an education like other women around the world. Malala Yousafzai is a prime example of women in Pakistan who are not allowed to have a good education like men in her country. As a young child, she defied the Taliban and demanded that all women get a fair education. According to britannica.com Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by a man that worked for the Taliban; She was shot due to standing up to them because she wanted equal rights for women to have a good

In most countries, women have less access to education than their male counterparts. According to UNESCO (2013), of the 110 million children out of school in developing nations, 60 percent are girls; women also represent nearly two-thirds of the world's illiterate population. Some countries are even worse than others. Examples include the fact that nine out of ten Afghan women are illiterate, and the shocking truth that only one in twenty attend school beyond the sixth grade. Chad is another prime example of the disparity between men’s and women’s educational standards- only ten percent of Chadian girls have completed elementary school. Women with higher education tend to be healthier, earn more, have fewer children, and provide

Throughout centuries gender inequality has been a crucial downfall to women’s education. Till this day women in multiple countries still such as Cambodia, Pakistan, and Morocco are denied the opportunity to pursue an education and are even persecuted if they attempt to. In other countries like Guatemala, poverty is the main factor as to why women are likely to not receive an education because families would rather send their sons simply because he is a boy. Many women in these countries are illiterate because boys are favored to receive an

It is no surprise that around the world, girls are at a social disadvantage. Facing institutionalized misogyny alongside poverty, arranged marriage, and a variety of other obstacles, some of them aren’t even afforded an education. What would the world be like if girls were valued more in cultures and societies? What would it be like if girls in developing countries had more opportunities to go to school? What would it be like if these oppressive barriers did not exist? Richard E. Robbins asks these questions in Girl Rising. Released in 2013, the documentary examines nine girls, nine countries, and the journey towards the goal that unites them all: to get an education. By telling the story of the everyday struggles of these nine girls in developing countries, the filmmaker argues that giving girls easier access to education would dismantle systems of oppression.

Education empowers women and is a factor that divides first and third world countries. If education was more widespread in Afghanistan, women would be more powerful because they would be on the same intellectual level as men. Educated women would better the country, provide a safer place to live for many citizens and diversify their nation. An example of how uneducated women not empowered is Mariam. Being raised without a formal education, Nana, her mother, tells her “What’s the sense in schooling a girl like you? It’s like shining a spittoon.” Her mother saying this makes her feel unintelligent and senseless. But Mariam’s aspiration for a better education in the novel is shown by the narrator saying “She pictured herself in a classroom with other girls her age. Mariam longed to place a ruler on a page and draw important-looking lines.” By saying this, the narrator reveals Mariam’s wish for a better future, but her declining confidence and her doubt that she can reach her full potential. Education encourages hope for the future and the

Education for women across many parts of the world has been virtually unattainable, opening this doorway to women gives them the opportunity to become equals with their male counterparts with in a scholarly capacity, influence, and financial stability. As social workers we have the tools to provide these women with pathways to gain their education and if the pathways do not exist yet then we know how to advocate for policy change to create a new pathway for them. Education gives women the ability to get jobs that before they could never attain due to being pulled from school or never sent at all so they could either marry or bear children as early as possible. As the numbers begin to shift, more and more woman across the world and their communities will see how allowing these girls

One of the global issues that women in developing overseas countries face is a barrier in education. Females in India will have a different experience of education inequality than females living in Australia. The number of out of school children in India 64% are girls, which is the equivalent of two-thirds of all children whom are illiterate ageing from 15 - 24 being female. Girls in Australia receive equal education throughout the country, this is evident in my micro world of a year 12 high school student. Although I am fortunate to live in a country where my education is not limited because of my gender, it does not mean all women are given this critical right of learning.

“Girls account for the majority of children not attending school; almost two-thirds of women in the developing world work in the informal sector or as unpaid workers in the home” (United Nations Development Program). In most nations, women are encouraged to pursue careers such as housewifery, which correlates, to a nation's poverty and oppressive society. According to The New York Times, “Women do not receive an education because of a nation’s fear of losing power.” Those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent are on the unethical side of history, but a hand will be extended if they are eager to unclench their fist. According to American Progress, “When women are educated it results in the empowerment of women and girls who then work to protect their rights.” With the lack education of women, they lack the necessary skills to acquire high paying jobs and express freedom of speech. The United States should offer a range of educational opportunities for women who appear authentically committed to pluralism and peaceful contestation help to develop their capacity to compete for power and to govern because they are the ones that will implement change. The world depends on The United States and trusts them in their times of crisis; therefore it is the U.S. responsibility to assist women when they cry for help. “The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis.' One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger - but recognize the opportunity” (John F. Kennedy). The harrowing reality is that since there is little to no public awareness of women’s global maltreatment, countless more women will continue living in obstructive societies with little regard to education. “A revolution is coming - a revolution which will be peaceful if we are wise enough; compassionate

Young women not receiving an education hurt not just themselves, but also their families and the societies they live in. Girls suffer because they miss out on opportunities to socialize, acquire knowledge, and gain the skills and sense of autonomy needed to improve their personal well-being and their lot in life. Child marriage is also another reason for parents to take their daughters out of school. Parents expect their daughters to get married and have kids before the age of 18, therefore, young women don’t have the chance to complete

Even after many attempts made in the second wave to achieve “right to education” for women of all sections of society, this issue still continues to exist in the third wave.
