...ARE WOMAN REALLY SAFE IN INDIA? The condition of women in India has always been a matter of grave concern. Since the past several centuries, the women of India were never given equal status and opportunities as compared to that of their male counterparts. The patriarchal nature of Indian society, which even though gives respect to women as they are our mothers and sisters, has greatly hampered both the independence as well as the safety of women. One of the main reasons of violence against women is the mentality which deems women inferior of men and merely limits their importance to the maintenance of the household, the upbringing of children and pleasing their husbands and serving other members of the family. Violence against women is present in every country, cutting across the boundaries of culture, class, education, income, ethnicity and age. Even though it is now forbidden in most parts of the world, the reality is that violations against women’s rights are often sanctioned under the garb of cultural practices and norms or through misinterpretation of religious tenets. Moreover, when the violation takes place within the home, as is very often the case, the abuse is effectively condoned by the tacit silence and the passivity displayed by the state and the law-enforcing machinery. In India even in the 21st century, women cannot step out of their house at any given time, assured of her physical and sexual safety. Everyday women in this society face more problems than men.The...

...The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire that occurred in 1911 was a huge tragedy and led to discussion of why safety regulations are important. The girls couldn’t escape because the made assumptions about the moral character of the works and locked the doors that led to the fabric so the workers didn’t steal any. The fire killed 148 people because there was no escape route; so most of the people either jumped out the window or burned in the fire. If there had been safety regulations in the factory then there would have been fire escape doors like there are now in this generation. These immigrants came to America to work, so they could make their own American Dream possible. The American Dream wasn’t possible for the factory workers, because the safety regulations prohibited them from being happy at work. The American Dream for them was to be able to go to work and feel safe and secure in their workplace. Safety regulations in the factory would have allowed the workers to have the American Dream of being comfortable and safe in their work place, live the pursuit of happiness, and want to continue living and working in America. By having safety...

...job, it would have to meet the OSHA standards for worker safety, sexual harassment, and civil rights; yet, it does not. As a result of this, I believe that Watson is correct with regards to whether or not "sex work" is true work. She takes a unique route on prostitution by building on the Nordic model through the lens of worker safety, sexual harassment, and civil rights. Watson states in "Why Sex Work isn't Work" that no one chooses the occupation of prostitution. Instead, one is forced into the selling of their body for money due to poverty, homelessness, drug abuse, or mental health issues. I will...

...“BABY GAMES” 2) Never say "Baby": (Materials- baby safety pins or another type of baby object you can place on a string for each woman at the party as well as string or yarn, enough for each woman to wear as a necklace). Have each woman place the necklace with the baby safety pins around her neck when she gets to the party. The rules for this baby shower game are given out at the beginning of the baby shower that whenever someone says the word "baby" during the shower, any woman who calls it out gets a pin from the other woman who stated the word. At the end of the baby shower, the woman with the most pins wins a prize. 42) Pregnant for a Day Co-Ed Game (Materials: Bag of medium balloons, a roll of yarn cut into approx. 20 inch pieces, and a chair for each male participant). Don't tell the object of the game up-front. Make a statement to the women in attendance-- "How many of us women wished that men could be pregnant just for one day?" This statement will leave the men full of suspicion as to what was about to unfold. Hand each man a balloon. For each man that doesn't have on shoes with shoe laces, tie the piece of yarn around each of his slip on shoes to mimic a shoestring. Do not form the bow. Only make a knot to help keep the yarn around the shoe. For those who do have on string up shoes, instruct them to untie their shoes. Instruct each man to blow up his balloon and tell each man when to stop filling it with air. The balloons should be filled with enough air that...

...Abraham Maslow is a great theory that can describes the woman from the case study. Maslow’s hierarchy explains how the woman stepping stones are needed in order to face and change her feelings of anxiety and panic. The last tear of the pyramid shows the hierarchy ability to express physiological needs. These needs include the need to satisfy hunger and thirst (Stangor, 2010. P. 345). Next on the pyramid is the safety needs. These needs include the need to feel that the world is organized and predictable, the need to feel safe, secure, and stable (Stangor, 2010. P. 345). It seems to me that this would be the place to start while working with the woman in the case study. The client in this study has recently moved to a different state where everything is different and unknowledgeable. She no longer has the safety of her friends and extended family around her to support her. The main goal of this physiological problem to be manageable one would need to find a way to help her feel safe in her new surroundings. Relaxation, watching television, swimming and excising are what a person who suffered from anxiety can use for healing. Once she has overcome her fear of the new environment she can meet and greet friends give parties and get acquainted with individuals who are hungry for love and thirst. She might be more comfortable with her surroundings, and her safety need would be met.Next on the pyramid is love and belonging. This includes the need to love and be loved, to belong...

...The safety of a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) continues to be a concern and issue for women faced with this decision. The quantitative research I have chosen to critique is "A new perspective on VBAC: A retrospective cohort study." (Rozen, Ugoni, & Sheehan, 2011). The purpose of this critique is to evaluate the research this study provides related to VBAC delivery and evidence-based nursing practice. Research Problem and Purpose Most research studies on VBAC and the safety of this type of delivery "have compared VBAC to elective repeat caesarean section (ERCS), despite the fact that the risks posed by each are considerably different." (Rozen, Ugoni, & Sheehan, 2011, p. 3). The authors of this study seek to compare the nulliparous woman, delivering for the first time, to a woman considering a VBAC. When health care professionals are advising and counseling women who are considering VBAC, accurate information and education is essential. The purpose of this study is to determine if the outcome and risks of ERCS deliveries or vaginal deliveries of nulliparous women should be compared to the woman choosing VBAC.the purpose of the study is not clear. Research Questions This study proposes the question: "When counseling women undergoing planned VBAC, should a comparison of outcomes be made to women undergoing ERCS, or is a comparison to other nulliparous women undergoing vaginal birth a more valid comparison in terms of risk and outcomes?" (Rozen, Ugoni, & Sheehan...

...National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (2014), the use of the seatbelt can reduce the risk of a serious injury by 50%.” Yes, using a seatbelt can get annoying at times with it getting stuck, locked in place, or even it getting on a person’s nerves with it rubbing against their neck and ears .Many people may argue about their reasons for not wanting to wear a seatbelt and many have a doctor’s note giving them permission to not wear a seatbelt, but in the end a person is saving their own life by buckling up. With more car crashes happening in Texas, the use of a seatbelt might help reduce the number of deaths that arise from a car crash. Each and every state has different laws with regulations on the use and nonuse of seatbelts. It is stated in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, that currently thirty three states in the United States have primary seat belt laws (IIHS, 2014). ©Insurance Institute for Highway Safety What is a primary seatbelt law? A primary seatbelt laws allows a police to stop and ticket a motorist is the driver and passengers are not buckled up, National Conference of State Legislatures (2013).

...preferred over abortion. The rationale behind this idea is that in abortion, the fertilized egg is being destroyed, while in contraception, the egg is simply being prevented from being fertilized. Contraception is viewed as a much better alternative to abortion for that reason; the fertilized egg is never affected. While the distinction about when contraception is allowed is mostly situational, there are specific types of women who are considered better candidates to use birth control than other types of women. Types of Women allowed to use mokh There are three specific types of women who are allowed, even encouraged, to use a diaphragm, or mokh. These women are encouraged to do so because of the marginal hazard that occurs to the woman, fetus, or an infant still in need of its mother’s milk when these types of women become pregnant. The first of these types of women is a child bride. These are women who get married at an especially early age, specifically...

...frames a well dressed woman of the aforementioned era with manicured nails, perfect make up, not a hair out of place, looking suitably surprised by a bottle of tomato sauce. The image is anchored by the words “You mean a woman can open it?” with the word “woman” underlined to suggest that women are the weaker sex and previously unable to open a bottle of sauce without the assistance of a man. (Tremblay & Tremblay, 2012) writes that this ad depicts women as technically unskilled or as sex objects. Within the frame of the advertisement is the ideology of the 1950’s woman, the text which anchors the ad and part of the bottle of sauce. This acts as a slight form of metonymy as part of the bottle represents the whole bottle, or, all the bottles of that particular brand of sauce. At the time this advertisement went to print the Del Monte logo at the top of the bottle was most likely recognised by that general demographic. There is nothing else within the frame of this advert, no husband to suggest this new sauce bottle is for anyone to use and no family in the background suggesting this is for the ‘kept woman’ who takes care of her man. Furthermore, we can’t see her posture but we can assume her posture is straight and confident by what we can see of her head, neck and shoulders. Signifiers in this text include a well dressed white female, a hand gesture, a facial expression, a bottle of sauce and a text which anchors the image. To the general public this woman would probably signify...

When she travelled alone she found herself and many women nearby in some fearful and dangerous situations. She believes that getting a gun changes the balance of power and provides a measure of safety. So due some events in the past she has been convinced to own a pistol so her reasons for getting a gun is fear, vulnerability and her main reason is getting harassed.

...Mr. Shiftlet’s desire for money results in him disregarding the safety and feelings of Lucynell when he ditches her at a restaurant in the middle of nowhere. Unlike the others, Lucynell is pure; the desire for money has brought out negative sides in her mother and Mr. Shiftlet, but has proven her innocence. She believed that by Mr. Shiftlet teaching her to speak and agreeing to marry her that she would be lucky enough to experience the happily ever after that most girls dream about. Her inability to truly see her mother as the pompous overbearing woman she is, and the con man as the dreg of society that he is proves that her character is pure and innocent. Mr. Shiftlet could sense her innocence and while on their honeymoon defines his character as malicious when he leaves her asleep at a restaurant claiming she is a “‘hitch-hiker’” that he was nice enough to pick up along the way. Virtuous, wholesome Lucynell has been left to ponder where she went wrong and how she will return...

For example, in South India, places like the very liberal state of Kerala are much safer than places like New Delhi (the capital). In New Delhi women traveling alone are not very safe, even if they don't get full out assaulted there is still some "feeling" of danger for women.

These individuals work with computer-aided dispatching services as well as computerized phone and radio systems. Dispatch Magazine On-Line also states that these individuals must prioritize these calls when numerous phone calls come into the center at the same time.
