United Nations Millennium Goal number 3: Gender Equality

Gender equality and better education:

I chose to write about having gender equality and helping to empower women around the world. In a lot of countries around the world it is very difficult for women to try and make something of themselves, or get out of poverty.  This is because they are seen as being lower than men and are discriminated against. This leaves them being dependent on men and not being able to see much outside of their own house hold.  

This is something that sparked my interest when I read about it because you always hear on the news about woman not being able to go to school and how American kids take for granted the school system and gender equality that we have. I wasn’t aware that it was this bad everywhere around the world, I never really thought about it. It does, however, make since and I agree that action needs to be taken to help these women discover how much they can do with their lives if that is what they wish to do. I believe that the change won’t be overly difficult, once the forces can get men to stand behind this cause and help the woman in their lives succeed.
