How can we improve the women's rights in the world?

2011, this is a generation called gender equality which means men and women are equal in society. In fact, many developed countries have some improvement such as equal employment opportunity. It is not perfect yet, however, it is true that many countries in the world are trying to make a better society for women. Now, we need to make change of the women's rights in developing countries. In the last post of the blog, I would like to explore what makes women's rights improve for the better.

Equal education is especially important in developing countries. Having the same and equal education between boy and girl makes possibility of equal job employment. In other word, women will be treated better in society. According to the book "Half the Sky", unequal education in developing countries causes very serious problem in job employment.

In the first world such as the US and Japan, we have very high literacy rate. That helps people especially women have better working environment. However, women have totally low literacy rate in the third world. That makes women in the third world work as cleaning lady, nannies, and sometimes sex workers. Women in the third world should have high literacy rate by offering equal education opportunity.

The most important thing is the support from men. Men are not supposed to make women over work because of any reason. In many developing countries, single mothers, poverty, and luck of fathering is very serious problem. At this point, men (ex-husband) are supposed to help women and children somehow such as giving children support.

There are many brave women in the world like Mukhtar Mai and Greg Mortenson according to the "Half the Sky". They fight for the women's rights and also they built school for girls. I hope more children in developing countries have better job opportunities and bright future.

In the end, "Half the Sky, turning oppression into opportunity for women worldwide" is one of my favorite books for women's rights. There are many stories of brave women who made change. I recommend everybody to read it!
