Women shouldn’t be treated and viewed differently. How are women viewed differently? In many countries, women are thought only good for household chores.(Teaching Respect) Women do about .4 hours of housework than men in a day (Time). In India, women are sexually targeted and abused. About 34,000 women were sexually targeted and abused in 2015.(Rape Crisis In India) In Africa, and other countries, women athletes are viewed differently with their skill level (Serenia Williams). You might have heard the phrase “ You play good, for a girl,” this phrase is comparing a girl’s skill level to a guy’s but there shouldn’t be a comparison. …show more content…
In Afghanistan, 90% of women give birth without medical help. Afghanistan is known to be one of the worst places for women’s medical health (A Women’s Rights Battleground). Girls can’t have a education in India and other countries. Instead of school, girls work and spend their days doing housework and chores. Women can’t drive in Pakistan, they think women don’t need to go anywhere due to the fact that they don’t have many rights (Global Women’s Progress Report).
Now, despite your point of view on this, there are reasons people might be for limiting women’s rights. A big reason is religion in many countries, many people’s religion is that women shouldn’t get the same rights as men do (National Catholic Reporter). Many countries think women are only good for household chores, so they don’t give women the rights. Many countries don’t view women as equals or as “people”, so they take away equal rights and make them not equal to men. Many countries view women much less important and useful (Silver

    The nineteenth amendment is to ensure women their right to vote. The struggle for victory took decades of protest and anger. Starting in the mid-nineteenth century, generations and generations of women’s suffrage supporters lobbied, lectured, wrote, marched, paraded, went on strike, organized, petitioned, picketed, held silent vigils, and practiced civil disobedience to quickly advance the United States of America’s constitution and obtain the right to vote. Many original supporters had passed before they could see final victory in 1920. Female citizens of the United States of America did not share the same rights as its male citizens when it was first founded, and those who opposed the rights of women were more than often violent, and would jail, abuse, and taunt the supporters.…

    Different countries have different traditions and culture they follow and live; however, there is one thing each country have in common: restricting and bounding women by cultural and societal expectations. From the novels and articles that have been read in class so far, women are always limited and constrained to what they are allowed to do or say. Women are always degraded by their own kin or by the society they grew up in. Women are expected to live what their parents want them to be or what the society wants and expects them to do.

    The United States in the early 1900s is a country flooded with problems and issues threatening the prosperity of the country. Some of these issues include deforestation, the fight for women’s rights, the continuation of child labor, and the unsanitary findings found within the meatpacking industry. Earlier this year, my Aunt Bessie generously awarded me one million dollars to spend on three different progressive reform groups of my choice. After deep thought and careful consideration, I have decided to divide the money between three progressive reform groups: women’s suffrage, the fight against child labor, and food safety. Furthermore, women’s suffrage is an important movement that deserves a generous donation towards their cause.…

The United States created this government to protect your rights and give you freedom. But wait; there’s an asterisk by this statement, because it only applies to certain rights and freedoms.…
