Title IX is a civil rights law, passed on June 23, 1972 that makes it illegal to discriminate against someone based on their sex. This law is best known for the opportunities given to girls in the athletics department. Before Title IX passed, less than 32,000 women played college sports. Only 2% of a school’s sport budget went to them. It wasn't until June 23, 1972 when…

were embarrassed to buy condoms in public. As a result, the Indian government decided to use barbers as a way to communicate with men about safe sex. The barbershops are one of those places where Indian men feel comfortable enough to talk about anything.

worshiped in the most ancient periods of human existence and still today, the material there is has been almost totally ignored.” (M.A.M.A.) It is clear that the role of women has plummeted in later times as soon as the males claimed to be the superior sex.

that Canada was created primarily by men. Canadian women have often been forgotten, despite their vital contributions to the country’s education, economic, and social development. As a country, Canada has come a long way from the mindset that there were “no public advantages to be gained by” women holding jobs that would dare “offend the natural modesty of her sex” (Canada Law Journal [CLJ], 1896, p. 758) that were held previously.
