4.2 Women's Rights Going Forward Assignment
Reading over your material in this section, you have seen how women and allies have worked hard and made many changes toward gender equality over the years. While things are improved, there is still a long way to go according to the United Nations. If women make up 50% of the population, why has there never been a woman prime minister in Canada or a woman president in the US? The gender pay gap still exists at some level in every country in the world. In countries that have large populations living in poverty, this further impacts the difficulties and inequalities faced by women.
Where do you see the global issue of women’s rights going in the next couple of generations? Will the situation get worse or better? What factors will bring about change? Use historical examples and research current changes and studies to back your points. Write 300-400 words to explain your stance. Include a bibliography of the sources you cited.
