Women And Women 's Rights

1. African women worked indoors doing house chores and cooking. The author describes that the women would rather work outside in the field because they were under constant observations by the Master’s wife. Many African slaves were raped by their masters and as a result they had biracial babies. Many masters sexually abused their slaves in order to have more slaves in their plantation. Due to the unfair abused towards slave women, white mistresses had resentment towards the slave girls and believed the slave girls were the ones seducing their husbands into bed. Some of the biracial children can pass off as white or they were very light skinned so they would be sold at “fancy” auctions for a hefty price, therefore it was common for black families to be separated.

Although the issue of women’s rights has attracted international recognition and support, women still face many inequalities and barriers. Gender-based violence and economic discrimination are problems in many parts of the world.

Women’s rights in America in late 1800’s women’s right to vote women in medicine and the equal rights for women are the 3 main points that were big in the 1800’s.

Throughout our experience, we have encountered so many challenges when it comes to gender in the society. Gender is being used as a basis for stratifying people in the society. In this article, the racial caste system that used to exist in the United State is depicted. In that the black women were denied the access to justice because of their status. They were perceived to be people who do not have any right within the society and no one could believed them when they were raped by the white men because all the court judges were white men according to this article. The women were classified to be from poor background and they should remain at a low class in the society.

The United States of America was built on the unfair labor of others. The United States used slaves to produce an abundant amount of cotton in the South. Many mill owners started using children to work in the factories. Later on, many mill owners employed young, unmarried women to work in the textile mills, straightening cotton threads as the cotton entered the water-powered looms. The United States has been developed on wrongful labor of others by racism being the effect of slavery, lack of education being the effect of child labor, and unfair woman rights being the effect of the labor of Lowell females.

Women have played a defining role in contributing to shaping Canada, as well as the classic Charter of Rights and Freedoms, mainly to promote gender equality which has become the core values in Canada today. Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms is a bill of rights fixed in the Constitution of Canada, and is the first part of the Constitution Act. Women’s rights and freedoms are protected under Section 15 (1985) which guarantees equality rights and Section 28 (1985) which guarantees that all the rights enclosed in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms apply to both genders; male or female equally. (Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, 1982). Sexism has been around for a long time despite these strong regulations, and that too mainly

In america the rights women have gained are good, on the other hand people still think there are still some things to overcome. In most places women have had the right to vote. Some say that women remain at a disadvantage in education as well and women continue to make up more than most of students who drop out before completing the fourth grade, as well as making up for half of the world is one billion adults. Each year the number of females entering into higher educational programs and universities increases greatly. Another great thing for women is that of own body rights. In many nations abortions are legal and women have a wide variety of different things , such as birth control. This right in many nations remains as a central continuing debate issue.

There are certain rights that are set up by the United States government to serve and protect the citizens of the United States of America. The Constitution was set up to all the people to be a free people, and laws were set up to establish ground rules of respect and equality. When domestic violence occurs, the rights of the victim are violated and the protection that is needed is not acknowledged. The amount of impact Domestic Violence has in Society has become more and more recognized over time. The main issue in collecting information to form statistics is difficult, as many victims of domestic violence choose not to report the incidents that occur within their domestic situation.( Frieze, I.H., Browne, A.)

There has been a substantial amount of progress in women's rights since America was founded. Before women were only seen as housewives and nothing else. Now women can be anything they set their mind to. However, even though there are more opportunities they still suffer inequality.

My hypothesis is that India has much more gender inequality and exploitation than the US and that the main reason for this inequality in India is culture and tradition. The

Summary and Reaction In her 2001 film, Dorothy Fadiman highlights the plight of women in rural India and brings to light the extreme gender bias they face. We are told that women are regularly barred from education and given less food. Young girls are expected to work on family farms and for long hours that cause them to become educationally stunted. These long hours also contribute to significant pain in their later years.

An analysis of example can be derived from the aforementioned discriminatory sexist roles in India that prior to globalization highly favored the male population verses the female population. The female population in India has previously been less than second class citizens. Indian women's cultural roles have been previously defined by traditional customs that are centuries old and no longer apply in this day and age. Previous to globalization, Indian women were to take total domestic responsibility. They were not allowed formal education as the majority of teachers and pupils were male, and the chances of a female remaining chaste was slim in those settings, and related to tradition, females

Most of the Indian knowledge I know are “people without power are silenced and those with power are able to speak” (Getz and Clarke, p. 78), it is all about authority. There are too many examples and historical events reveal how people discriminate female and lower class people. The film has clearly showed the situation, the unfair treatment of racism is not only happened between upper class and lower class, such as British and Indian. The Indian villagers are also prejudice a disabled Indian man by refuse him to join the team. However, the gender issue is totally different. All the men and women are live pleasantly together, no sexism neither in Indian village nor British government. We can see that through the day before the end of the game, all the women from villagers start to sing, they use their powerful voice to encourage and inspire their discouraged

In India, there are several ways of how the culture attributes to gendercide. Gendercide is happening in India mostly because of dowry and greed. Why have a daughter when you have to pay such a large sum to marry her off? It seems more logical to have sons to keep your wealth and then gain more wealth when your sons marry. Women must also worry about gendercide even into adulthood. Women are killed for not

The subject of women empowerment of women is a serious issue all over the world. Inequalities between men and women and discrimination against women have also been a burning issue all over the world. Inequalities between men and women in the society generate lots of problems which become a big obstacle in the way to success of nation. It is their birthright to be treated equally as men in the society. It is due to the typical mindset of people who think that women are limited only for households and family responsibility. Particularly in the rural areas due to lack of education and financial constraints etc. Another big issue is that women are unaware about their rights and development. These women are the victims who have to face violence and abuse. They
