Women Rights

Monday, February 22, 2016


Women Rights is a continue debate that is an uncomfortable topic but a constant conversation that cannot seem to be settle. Women of all color are over looked because the power of women and feminist title that politicians are afraid of. The starting point of women proclaiming their title started before the civil rights movements as they built their community to fight against the outrage claims that men dominant over women and receiving more power than women instead of equal rights as men. In article “The Prolonged Slavery of Women is the darkest page in human history” the author argues that segregation of colour is a part of holding women especially colour women from their rights. He then makes it a point to acknowledge that white women and colour women tried enfranchise to fight for women rights but that controversy did not work because the politicians were petrified from authority of power black educated women (Jad). When women enfranchise, the stability, the vigorous, the enlightened stance of their hard work comes before you, to make it a point that women rights matter just as equivalent to all men. Women are over looked because women are seen to do the background while men get applauded for the up-front work.  But, according to (Andrew Cayton) “Women mattered to the extent of their attachment to powerful men; young women mattered even more because their bodies, in particular their wombs, mattered. When society makes it satisfactory for women to stand behind the scene of men. When women play the role of the higher authority men get offended and try to destroy women nature.

From the time before the civil rights movement, during the civil rights movement; Dr. Sara Frear, associate professor of history, said male-dominated efforts often overshadowed the works and contributions made by women during the movement and that these frustrations helped shape the women’s own movement. and now present day after the civil rights movements can you believe women are still fighting for “women rights.” After all previous activist fighters such as Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sojourner Truth, Carrie Chapman Catt, Frances D. Gage, and Susan B. Anthony (Adams, Jad).  A lot of rights for women has been rejected and some has been more viewed. Women are quickly get stereotyped before knowing her background history. The issue is not basically colour women but most of the history begin from colour women to all women. And now present day all women of all race faces women discrimination of women right. “The United States could do more to use soft power to support the cause of women’s rights. For instance, it could tie aid money to reform and enforcement of laws that are in many cases already on the books. If this were done more systematically, there might be more coherent results.” (Soussan, Michael) From the events that occur with women in US there should not be reasonable of doubt to question the US ability but not every is perfect.

In Conclusion women rights are being more forced for women can have an equal opportunity as men. Women can have more authority over their own decision whether it’s from health conditions to finances. The ability of women is just as powerful of men and have the stability as men. “I do subscribe to the generalization that any group that targets women for violence and discrimination today is the most likely to become dangerous beyond the borders of the area it pretends to influence. More than ever, if we believe in the promotion of human rights, we must find more ways to hold governments accountable for advancing and protecting women’s rights (Soussan, Michael).” More organizations and awareness can be brought to fight for women rights if more women were more serious about the issue, meaning fighting more upon the issues.
