Are we really equals?
Women’s rights have come an awfully long way since 1911 – but have we come far enough? We still live in a world where one in three women will experience violence at some point in their lives, where women hold only 19% of the world’s parliamentary seats and where only about 24% of the people in mainstream broadcast and print news are female. In 2011 we still live in a world where women perform 66% of the world’s work, produce 50% of the world’s food, earn 10% of world’s income and own 1% of the world’s property.
This is the question we are going to try to answer in our class. In order to have more information about this concern, take a look at the following video:
More questions to reflect on:
- When will we know that men and women are equal?
- Do some women really get sacked because they’re pregnant?
- Why are women still the poorer sex?
- Are the world’s top-dogs really all men?
- Why do girls get forced into having sex?
- Do men still get a better pay deal than women?
- Are boys getting a better education than girls?

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
International Women's Day (8 March) is an occasion marked by women's groups around the world. This date is also commemorated at the United Nations and is designated in many countries as a national holiday. When women on all continents, often divided by national boundaries and by ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic and political differences, come together to celebrate their Day, they can look back to a tradition that represents at least nine decades of struggle for equality, justice, peace and development.
International Women's Day is the story of ordinary women as makers of history; it is rooted in the centuries-old struggle of women to participate in society on an equal footing with men. In ancient Greece, Lysistrata initiated a sexual strike against men in order to end war; during the French Revolution, Parisian women calling for "liberty, equality, fraternity" marched on Versailles to demand women's suffrage.
The idea of an International Women's Day first arose at the turn of the century, which in the industrialized world was a period of expansion and turbulence, booming population growth and radical ideologies. Following is a brief chronology of the most important events:
1909
In accordance with a declaration by the Socialist Party of America, the first National Woman's Day was observed across the United States on 28 February. Women continued to celebrate it on the last Sunday of that month through 1913.
1910
The Socialist International, meeting in Copenhagen, established a Women's Day, international in character, to honour the movement for women's rights and to assist in achieving universal suffrage for women. The proposal was greeted with unanimous approval by the conference of over 100 women from 17 countries, which included the first three women elected to the Finnish parliament. No fixed date was selected for the observance.
1911
As a result of the decision taken at Copenhagen the previous year, International Women's Day was marked for the first time (19 March) in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland, where more than one million women and men attended rallies. In addition to the right to vote and to hold public office, they demanded the right to work, to vocational training and to an end to discrimination on the job.
Less than a week later, on 25 March, the tragic Triangle Fire in New York City took the lives of more than 140 working girls, most of them Italian and Jewish immigrants. This event had a significant impact on labour legislation in the United States, and the working conditions leading up to the disaster were invoked during subsequent observances of International Women's Day.
1913-1914
As part of the peace movement brewing on the eve of World War I, Russian women observed their first International Women's Day on the last Sunday in February 1913. Elsewhere in Europe, on or around 8 March of the following year, women held rallies either to protest the war or to express solidarity with their sisters.
1917
With 2 million Russian soldiers dead in the war, Russian women again chose the last Sunday in February to strike for "bread and peace". Political leaders opposed the timing of the strike, but the women went on anyway. The rest is history: Four days later the Czar was forced to abdicate and the provisional Government granted women the right to vote. That historic Sunday fell on 23 February on the Julian calendar then in use in Russia, but on 8 March on the Gregorian calendar in use elsewhere.
Since those early years, International Women's Day has assumed a new global dimension for women in developed and developing countries alike. The growing international women's movement, which has been strengthened by four global United Nations women's conferences, has helped make the commemoration a rallying point for coordinated efforts to demand women's rights and participation in the political and economic process. Increasingly, International Women's Day is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of women's rights.
The Role of the United Nations
Few causes promoted by the United Nations have generated more intense and widespread support than the campaign to promote and protect the equal rights of women. The Charter of the United Nations, signed in San Francisco in 1945, was the first international agreement to proclaim gender equality as a fundamental human right. Since then, the Organization has helped create a historic legacy of internationally agreed strategies, standards, programmes and goals to advance the status of women worldwide.Over the years, United Nations action for the advancement of women has taken four clear directions: promotion of legal measures; mobilization of public opinion and international action; training and research, including the compilation of gender desegregated statistics; and direct assistance to disadvantaged groups. Today a central organizing principle of the work of the United Nations is that no enduring solution to society's most threatening social, economic and political problems can be found without the full participation, and the full empowerment, of the world's women.

ReplyDeleteThe International Women's day began as a campaign to improve working conditions for women in New York 28 February 1909, in the 20th century. But then that date was changed to March 8. The first was held in 1910 in Denmark. Since then celebrated around the world. This day men give flowers and gifts to mothers, wives, girlfriends, sisters, etc. Is a date for celebrate to the most beautiful creation on earth, but it is also very importantly know that there are still women in unequal conditions.
Happy Women's Day, teacher and girls!

ReplyDeleteThe International Women's day (IWD) is celebrated because the women's demanded better condition of work, and shorter working hours, in New York, in the 20th century.
And celebration is about the rights of the women's, to work, to political vote, to public office.... it's a day for celebrate.

ReplyDeleteWhen will we know That Men and women are equal?
When everyone has the same rights and duties not only on paper but also in reality.
Do some women really get sacked because they're pregnant?
I do not think just because a woman is always seen as the weaker sex.
Why are women still the poorer sex?
For generations man has always believed superior to women.
Are the world's top-dogs really all men?
Not because there are also men with good feelings that men are better than dogs.
Why do girls get forced into having sex?
Pleasure and women being the weaker sex.
Do men still get a better pay deal than women?
Sometimes but now the important thing is knowledge.
Are boys getting a better education than girls?
No, but there are cases in universities as teachers prefer women.

ReplyDelete- When will we know that men and women are equal?
When people forget male chauvinism, because in societies worldwide are still sexist
- Do some women really get sacked because they’re pregnant?
yes, because many women are fired for being pregnant
- Why are women still the poorer sex?
Because in the different cultures of the world, men are the stronger sex therefore earn more
- Why do girls get forced into having sex?
I think that women prefer to have economic stability and therefore are forced to have sex with their husbands, as happens in Asia and the Orient. Furthermore, prostitution is one of the ways women earn easy money, and they are forced to do it because often they have no other job options
- Do men still get a better pay deal than women?
yes, another sign of discrimination against women
- Are boys getting a better education than girls?
Men may have more access to educational institutions, but I think that women currently receive the same education

1.The women and the men are equal when the society has the conscience that the woman can do all the things she wishes, she is not the weaker sex and no genre is superior to another.
2.Yes, this situation is more common than we think as the companies consider that the woman in this condition cannot work equal and only will generate additional cost.
3.Because the man cannot accept that the woman is in equal condition and we have the same capabilities for play any activity.
4.No necessarily. There exceptions, some men respect and value the woman.
5.Because the man can still think that the woman only is a object designed for his pleasure.
6.Yes, sometimes the companies think that the woman in a future will generate more cost, therefore they decide paying her less.
7.In some countries yes, for example in India, when a girl is forced to marry can not continue to study.

I believe that for all the questions of this activity there is only one response: the fact that theoretically and legally we are equal, we have the same rights and duties. But in practice nothing of this is applied. An as such equality does not exist and until the men do not integrate in his thought the fact that the woman is not an object that they can touch and attack with his acts will not change to the situation that we load for centuries: the entire subjection.

1. It's a cultural problem. A lot of countries think that women are the weak sex, but it's not true, women are the most beautiful thing in the world. And the people will know that we are equal when we realize it.
2. Yes, but i think that they could work until they feel able.
3. No, they are capable to do the same things that men do.
4. No, this is a stereotype.
5. there are many countries where it happens, but there are cases where the women feel indirectly obligated to have sex, In a lot of cases is because of money.
6. As I said in the other points, it depends of the country and the culture. There are a lot of women that earn a lot of money, businesswomen, executives, etc. But there are still more men that women.
7. Actually, women have a lot of opportunities to start a career. But, there are women that sacrifice herself to give to her brothers the opportunity to study.
I really think that we are not equal, because in education, at work, at home, women's rights are violated and we are still sexist.

*Why are women still the poorer sex?
although the world be changing , some thoughts remain the same ; every day the women show that we are a " stronger sex" however this idea is still present.
*Are the world's top-dogs really all men?

*Why do girls get forced into having sex?
The women are persons fragile and sensitives ( but no weak) for long time we have been considered like sex machines .
*Do men still get a better pay deal than women?
Definitely, even women with better labor capacity receive lower wages, just because they are women, and just because they are mothers.
*Are boys getting a better education than girls?
Not always, however the society has the stigma that the women has an intelligence lower than the men.
