Question

Open the National Organization of Women (NOW) site and from the six issues, which two are most important to you and why?

Answer 1

The two most important issues :

1. Violence against Women -

Violence in the form of domestic violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, abortion clinics, hate crimes, gender bias and poverty are considered to be violence to women of our society. These might not be frequent in the developed nations with strict laws and order but they are quite frequently seen in the developing or underdeveloped nations where patriarchy is still being followed by many people. This issue leads to the negative consequences to the women and younger generation too.

Reason - The Younger Generation seems to learn these violent activities as normal and once they grow up, they also tend to do similar things to women. Also, such violence leads to the state of fear in women which further demotivates them to get independent and stand firm in adverse situations.

2. Racial Injustice to Women -

Racism is a serious issue in the society across the globe. Women of color are discriminated and hence creates a form of un-equality and injustice to women of the society. Employment, education and reproductive rights are the most affected areas through this type of issue.

`Reason - Education and Employment are the pillars of development. Once, these are affected through such negative activities, the development will halt. Women should be given equal rights in every field and should have equal opportunities.
