...There a horrible situation going on in the Middle East involving women’s rights. Women can not work or do anything without the permission of a man. Therefore people have been reacting in different ways, some people have protested through writing, others have protested through actions and some other have done nothing because they want to keep oppressing women. Some people protested actively to help women’s right. For example in document #2 you see males posing for the media wearing a burqa to show their solidarity to Afghan women. This suggests to me that not all the men in the Middle East are in favor of oppressing women; they want them to also have rights. Another document that shows people protesting is document #7, this document shows an iran soccer player (women) in a veil while playing a game. This is a way to protest because she's playing a sport and she's not supposed to be doing that. Doc #9 is also added to this list because in Dubai they're trying to educate women so that they could be part of the booming economy. This suggest that they recognize the intelligence of women could be really helpful to their world. Therefore these ways of protesting have been the top ways of actively fighting for a better Middle East....

...Communist Movements and Women's Struggle for Rights DBQ Communist movements in the twentieth century allowed women to work alongside men and promoted women as being equal to men and deserving the same rights as men. These effects were facilitated by the communist governments promoting women as an important aspect of communist society. However, communist movements did not fully achieve equality for women and women's struggle for rights continued in many countries. The communist movement can best be understood in the context of the Soviet Union promoting and spreading communism. Communist leaders such as Mao Zedong and Ho Chi Minh were supported by the Soviet Union and came to power behind the military or financial support of the Soviet Union....

...From 1815 to 1850 women and Native Americans were fighting for their rights like women fighting to actually have property but people believed that they were the property of man and we're only needed to take care of Young and the house. Native Americans were being forced West and that is unconstitutional but the President, Andrew Jackson believed that they didn't deserve rights. The US did not fulfill the ideals of the Declaration of Independence for all the people by 1850 because women and Native Americans did not have equal economic and political rights. The ideals of the Declaration were not fulfilled because women did not have equal economic or political rights The evidence that can be used to support myself claim is Document 1 the document states that women do not have rights like they had very hard time leaving their husbands also they did the husband they would have total custody of the child people also...

...Political Empowerment of Women: Comparative Study of South Asian Countries Amna Mahmood A South Asia is a home of variety of cultures, languages and religions. Here we can find a number of variations in customs, value systems and ways of life. But one thing is common among all the cultures and regions of South Asia that is gender discrimination. Women traditionally are considered subordinated to the male and this remained a prominent feature both in the rural and the urban areas. In urban areas a little improvement is due to enhanced level of education and economic independence in women. There is very less distinction of educated and uneducated as that of religion in this regard. The situation is improved with regard to political empowerment especially with the allocation of 33% seats in local government in South Asia but in most of the cases this change is not satisfactory. The real empowerment would be achieved only if it would be accompanied by the social and economic empowerment. For that purpose, society has to be changed at large. Such change cannot be materialized only through any coercive legislation or strong state action in the blink of an eye. But the fact remains there that in societies where all the changes start from top to bottom these measures along with a strong political will can stimulate a change to improve the situation gradually. This paper discusses the measures taken by different governments in South Asia to achieve the goal of political empowerment and...
