Have you ever thought about a world where everything is perfect, no judgement from anyone, no racism or gender inequality? It will be so easy to live right? Well, we are close to it in some countries like Norway, New Zealand, and Canada. Think about it! People are free to wake up, without anyone telling them what to do, there is food waiting on the table prepared for the family, and you have everything necessity for your day. After eating your morning meal, there is an opportunity for education, allowing you to acquire knowledge that you do not even have to pay for. After the school day is over, you might have a chance to play with your friends before spending some time with your family. The evening ends with a meal that you share with the family. Also, whether you are a boy or a girl doesn’t matter because they’re considered as equal. Many would think this …show more content…

Pakistan is one of the most dangerous place on earth for gender equality, and Canada is one of the best for gender equality. What I have suggested is to take example of the best countries in gender equality, but my research have shown me that not even the residents of the country of Pakistan are not willing to improve their country by having equality between gender. But no country are perfect, Canada’s women earn on average 0.79$ to every 1$ earned by men which is 79% for every 1$. Canada also struggle in their time, from 1916 to 1989, women have worked their way up to obtain the right to vote and having a place among the men in the house of commons. Briefly, I hope that the society will open their eyes and not only worrying about themselves but trying to make a change for other people around the globe that are not having the same opportunities as we do, even if this person is on another

    The feminist movement does not stop when one crosses the border. When talking about gender equality, people tend to only look at America. The problem with that is, for there to be true gender equality, every single woman in the world must be considered as an equal, not just American women. Other countries, besides America, have made tremendous advancements. In 1979, Great Britain elected Margaret Thatcher as their first female prime minister, and in 1969, India did the same with Golda Meir (Greenblatt 779). Seeing the progress in such diverse countries also brings hope and ambition to the

    Women are part of our society and their tremendous performance is not less to those of men. They are competitive and superb in diverse areas, even beyond men in some situations. They constitute half of the world’s populace. Gender inequity subsists in many countries globally. Discriminating and preventing almost half of the world’s population from attaining its complete potential is an economic irrationality. Denying girls and women equality makes them endure, as well as obstruct development of whatever is left of society.

    The thought of total equality amongst all humans may sound appealing at first thought. The author of the short story “Harrison Bergeron” explains how total equality is not only unappealing, but can actually be dangerous and not at all what people would imagine the “perfect life” would be. The story is set in the future, the year 2081, where the government had added amendments to the constitution in order to create equality between everyone. The characters in the story demonstrate tactics used by the government to put everyone on an equal level.

    Social systems tend to reinforce oppression because they are usually static and do not change much over time. Social systems such as family and media are highly problematic for women because they contribute to the gender roles, expectations, and norms. Institutions further gender inequity as it subdues women and nurtures men. Feminism aims to improve the social situation for women, including abolishing institutionalized oppression and inequity and reforming institutions.

  • Gender Stratification: Power, Wealth, and Privilege Divide

    Each country has different aspects that they focus on depending on their culture and beliefs. However, the most common theme around the world was the wage gap and domestic violence for women. According to the “Violence against Women” article 1 and 3 women experience violence by intimate partners worldwide (Violence against Women, 2016, pg. 1). Unfortunately, this has increased the global rate of intimate partners who have committed murders of women to 38% (Violence against Women, 2016, pg. 1). These are significate numbers, yet worldwide women are being treated worse than men are treated. The same goes for the wage gap. In the United States it is hard for a women to get a job as a CEO or high ranking yet 56.3% of women 15 years or older were working according to the Gender Inequality Index in 2013. This relates directly to a global wage gap and glass ceiling placed on women worldwide because the Gender Inequality Index states that worldwide 50.3% of women 15 and older were working in the work force. However, they were being paid less and were less likely to get promotions when compared to men. The fact that women in other countries are married at younger ages and having children also puts them at a disadvantage because they are mothers meaning they will be paid less for having children. Gender stratification is not just an Untied States problem, but a worldwide problem that needs to be

On December 12, 2015, women were allowed to vote for the First time in an election! Can you imagine not being able to voice your opinion about the place you live in for being a certain gender?

  • Women's Rights In Canada Essay

    Relating to women’s rights, globally having them recognized is immensely important. Women make up 50% of the population yet were not looked at as equals under the law in many countries for a very long time. Even Saudi Arabia today still does not treat women with the same rights as they do men, which is not only amoral but goes against the Declaration of Human Rights. With more humanitarian work and acknowledging the issues still going on around the world, addressing them will become priority. As history has shown, for an issue to be resolved it needs to be brought up and talked about until it is solved. Countries like Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Denmark, and countless more protect women from discrimination and the likes. Women’s rights have evolved revolving recognition in the law tremendously, whether that be in Canada or internationally. By just having the Declaration of Human Rights it shows a tremendous dedication and advancement in rights amongst all people. Although there is still a far way for some countries to go until they are recognizing these rights in their laws, any advancement is an

  • Gender Inequality In Canadian And Indian Culture

    Although gender inequality exist in all countries, the comparison of the Canadian culture and the Indian culture of the treatment of women are extremely different. India is set back decades of the view of woman, and although the Canadian culture still has its flaws, the Indian culture is something that needs to be changed today. Canadian women do not have to fear the chance of being blamed for their rape, or even be sentenced to rape as a punishment. Canadian girls also have the right to an education, if they wish to proceed in one. An education that most children do not cherish and look upon as a burden rather than a gift. The gift of a education is something that millions of children wish for dearly, yet Canadian children throw away. Canadian

However, specific trade unions that fight for women and their equal rights does not exist. At the most, women are only a small part of the committee in general trade unions due to a low number of female workers in the labor force. Therefore, the formation of FTAs can reap benefits in terms of gender inequality and female labor participation which eventually leads to an increase in income per capita and economy

  • Gender Equity in the 21st Century

    The “Politics” section, from the UN’s 2008 report of the progress of the world’s women, discusses in detail how women’s roles in government and politics in general have expanded and can continue to expand. Moreover, it also explores different challenges and obstacles women may encounter when it comes to politics, and how these obstacles can be overcome. In discussing these issues, the author describes a “cycle of political accountability”. This so called cycle is a process by which women’s engagement in politics results in a positive “feedback loop” whereby a more gender-balanced political system may arise. According to the report, there are five stages: mobilization, representation, legislation & policy, implementation, and transforming politics. Of course, the cycle can also go backwards leading to the loss of rights for women.

  • Gender Inequality In Islam

    1345 Words  | 3 Pages

    Women who have the misfortune of living in predominately Muslim societies often are confronted with adversities concerning their rights in marriage, divorce, education, and seclusion. Consequently, many Westerners seeing a lack of equality towards women in these societies consider it as a confirmation of their own misconceptions about Islam itself. Islam is often rejected as being an intolerant and violent religion that discriminates against and subjugates women, treating them as second-class citizens. From a Muslim’s perspective, Islam’s stance on women can be approached by two opposing views. Scholars amongst the Muslim apologists have claimed, “The verses in the Qur’an represented Muhammad's intention to improve a debased condition of women that prevailed during the Jahiliya, the time of ignorance before Islam came into being.” (Doumato, 177) If inequalities still exist between men and women, they cannot be attributed to Islam, but are a result of the misinterpretation of Islam’s true meaning. Others have entirely denied the notion of inequality between men and women in Islam, claiming that the alleged inequalities “are merely perceived as such by foreign observers who confuse seclusion and sex difference with inequality.” (Ibid.) Many Muslim apologists defend the Koran as noble for the very fact that it raises women to an equal status of men despite their inferiority.
