Womens Rights

WALT write a persuasive writing piece.

Can you imagine living in a country where you have to have a man to go outside with? Or being a girl that doesn’t get the opportunity to attend school because they have to stay home, wash the dishes, sweep and more. Many people think that this doesn’t happen any more, but it does. Women are treated unfairly with less opportunities than men. It’s not fair and it needs to stop.

In 1883 women in New Zealand got to vote. But in America women only got to vote in the 1900. Have you ever heard of a Suffragette? Well Suffragettes were members of women's organisation in England. They fought for the right of women's voting. Emmeline Pankhurst was the founder of the WSPU ( The Women's Social Political Movement). They used methods like marches, hunger strikes and more to get their way. But it just wasn’t working. Women were getting abused for this behaviour. As time passed more and more women were joining the Suffragettes. Women were raging over the fact that things just wouldn’t change. I don’t think that this is fair and is completely unnecessary. I mean why won’t men just let the women vote? Thankfully action took place and women were given the right to vote. This proves how strong and powerful women can be.

Secondly this isn’t the only problem happening. In countries like Afghanistan women are treated unfairly. Women are made to be slaves and are punished badly. Some girls don’t get to go to school because men think that women and girls are fit for house chores. Also girls can’t go outside without a man. Can you imagine being stuck at home with no fresh air because you have to clean. You might think that this would be fun because you could play but actually You have to clean. This is completely unfair and should stop. Have you ever heard of the Taliban. Well the Taliban were bad men trying to take control over certain countries. They said that girls should not be able to go to school. One day Malala and her friend caught the bus to school. On the way the bus got hijacked by the Taliban and Malala got shot in the head she was rushed to hospital and flown to Birmingham. Luckily she was able to survive. She was awarded the Nobel peace prize and has been one of the youngest people to receive it. This is why women should not be judged.

Finally There are lots of people that fight for freedom. Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a women that fought for freedom and for more opportunities for Women. Now at the age of 85 she is still up and running. She can still do push ups! She is so famous that there is a movie made about her. She might be old but people still want to take photos with her. Ruth Bader Ginsburg successfully fought in court against gender discrimination. Ruth works with a personal trainer as well. Ruth has achieved so many things yet she is just one amazing women out there.

I hope I have proved to you that there are lots of strong and powerful women out there and that women are just as good as men. From cleaning houses to arguing in court, standing up for rights and last of all hunger strikes. We need to appreciate the women we have because without them we wouldn’t be here.
