THE OPPRESSION OF WOMAN

tell me why, why Men have had the upper hand

for centuries.

While there are still countries like Sierra Blanca, Allman and

Jordan of high gender inequality rates that don't allow woman

to read to get an education or a job toe

wear what they want and choose to do what they

want with their body.

Why women still makes 81 cents to a man's dollar

and how that is different based on the woman's race.

Why a woman can't choose if she wants an abortion.

But the fear of being arrested, why an indigenous girl

can't live her life fear free of being kidnapped and

murdered. Why a transgender woman can't be herself with the

possibility of being hate crimes or lynched, why a woman

can't express how she feels or her opinions about being

judged by others.

For years, we have fought for what we have today

the right to vote the right to fair wage, the

right to own property, the right to be addressed as

persons under the law.

Fortunately, those rights were fought and won over in Canada,

giving us those freedoms.

There are still communities around the world, even in Canada,

that still suffers a woman's oppression.

Our society has aged and grown and has become more

aware of the ongoing issues and the ones we should

have been more aware of.

But 80 per cent of Canadians believe the next generation

of woman is just more likely to experience sexual assault.

300 women and Children are turned away from shelters on

any given night in Canada because they're full.

1.9 million women in Canada live on a low income,

36% to 14%.

That was the drop in the percentage of girls who

say they feel confident between Grade six and 10 and

women are 60% less likely than men to move from

middle management to executive ranks.

People say the past is in the past and inequality

doesn't exist anymore.

It does.

We've been all over are still experiencing hate and sexism

just for being alive?

Ah, site that gives sources and information on the matter

of women's rights is Amnesty International Amnesty talks about the

past of women's oppression and how in different parts of

the world it is happened and it's still happening
