Women Empowerment

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.

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.

Women empowerment means to identify all kinds of oppression based on gender roles and to face it. This process has two dimensions: individual and collective. At the individual level, access to information about gender role and its social source lead women to seek for their autonomy and freedom. When they realize that the female social being is a social construction, nor a changeless reality, they can better indentify

Zora Neale Hurston was one of many authors who left an impact on society, particularly black America. Hurston is a remarkable author who reflects her life in most of her writings. She was a writer during the Harlem Renaissance Era. After much success, she was acknowledged as “Queen of the Harlem Renaissance,” yet her literary work was not given proper recognition in the beginning because she chose to write things in a different perspective than the normal political mindset dealing with race. Hurston explored women empowerment and feminism in her writing. She developed very strong, resilient women, but these women were placed in a society where they had to submit, be ladylike, and

Certainly, the gender is fundamental cause of health disparities among the Indian workers regarding to their working in a conservative country that doesn’t allow for women to do the male jobs. Furthermore, the common is to leave the men their countries to work outside, and the mothers will stay at home regarding their ability in taking care of their

For our activism project, my sister, Maggie, and I went to the Ziibiwing Center in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. We live in the near-by village of Shepherd, so we decided to visit the Center while we were home for Easter break. I had been interested in visiting the Center for a number of years and saw this project as the necessary push to finally act on the desire. Mt. Pleasant is located right next to the reservation of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe. At times is hard to tell where the reservation ends and the city begins. The Ziibiwing Center was opened in 2004 to help preserve the Anishinabe culture, honor their ancestors, and to educate people on the culture as well. The Anishinabe are the Ojibwe (Chippewa), the Odawa (Ottawa), and the Potawatomi.

The oppression of women has been brought into light in the recent years but it was the norm in many societies in early history especially in premodern east Asia. During that time, the roles of men and women in society were determined by great scholars that had the power to get their voice to be heard and set general rules in society. In China, scholars like Confucius, Mencius, and Mozi had great impact on the way people divided the roles between men and women. The overall oppression of women in premodern east Asia can be seen through quotes from great scholars about how women should be obedient to men, should not make important decisions in their families, and are not spoken of equally to men in society.

Throughout the years, society has expressed their views on the role of women. Women are the ones who cook, clean, and take care of the children in society. This domestic role was set up thousands of years ago by ancient civilizations. These male dominant cultures believed women should be hidden in the community. Even today, their beliefs permeate our cultures.

With the industrialization of the economy during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, women began to break free from the strict limitations that guided their lives for hundreds of years. Where the True Woman once existed, the New Woman emerged. Thus began the American journey towards women’s empowerment. Women’s newfound ability to make choices and right to traditionally male opportunities paved the way for the emergence of the Sexual Revolution and the exceeding popularization of neotantra, which in turn continued to empower women.

Women’s rights have been slowly progressing throughout the history of our country. They have been stuck at home keeping the house clean, taking care of the kids, making dinner, and completing other tasks around the household. Two articles will be overviewed to help show the progression and the difficulties of women trying to gain more rights and to break out of their current social status. The article “Women's Rights as Human Rights: Toward a Re-Vision of Human Rights” by Charlotte Bunch discusses the many issues involved in women’s rights, specifically about how gender is a leading factor in the lack of rights women have. The second article, “From the Second Sex to the Joint

The topic “Women Empowerment” is a passionate issue all around the nation. “Women Empowerment” and “women equality with men” is a universal issue. It references to better implementing and increasing the social, economic, political and legal strength of women. This then brings forth equal rights to thee women as well as make them confident to claim rights such as living freely with a sense of self-worth, respect and dignity.

In ten years, we have seen the political potentialities of women voters recognized by farseeing politicians who have rather grudgingly in many instances taken them into the councils of their parties, making them vice-chair of this or that local or state national committee; for the time has not yet arrived when men will voluntarily entrust to women the actual dispensation of party authority or patronage.

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.

The CWF has helped in promoting counselling services that has benefitted these women as many of them have shown signs of improvement.

The modern world has resulted in earnings, wages and salaries for the women similar to that of men, but the women are continuously facing inequalities in the work force (Andal 2002). This can be attributed to the pre-established notion that women shall not be given access to finance or communication with the world outside of the home which is highly unethical and unfair (Eisenhower, 2002). In the past, they were considered as the underprivileged ones which were not thought of having equal rights but this fact has changed now. For instance, the status of women can be explicitly defined as the equality and the freedom of the women.
