She is holding a sign that reads, "MEN OF QUALITY DO NOT FEAR EQUALITY." Basically, what she is saying is that decent, well-rounded men who have their heads on straight will encourage equality among both genders.  It is the men who are immature and the men who lack quality who feel they are superior to woman.  This woman is protesting against those men. ]]> 2017-03-15 21:11:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymelynnreed/5l1j58ubj5x6/wish/160380311 jaymelynnreed https://padlet.com/jaymelynnreed/5l1j58ubj5x6/wish/160380905 Learn about examples of inequality, the gender gap, and what prevents women from breaking the glass ceiling. This video explains that we, as a society, should get used to seeing men as the primary caregivers of young children. Changing our perspective on perceived gender-specific “jobs” would greatly help conquer the inequality women face every day. Learn how some countries have managed to combine work and parenthood and kept everyone happy. This video helps us understand why we live in a patriarchal society, and what we can do to help fix it.]]> 2017-03-15 21:15:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymelynnreed/5l1j58ubj5x6/wish/160380905 jaymelynnreed https://padlet.com/jaymelynnreed/5l1j58ubj5x6/wish/160381637 A sustainable world and a stronger economy won’t be possible until there is women’s equality worldwide. It has been proven that empowering women in the workforce would boost global economies enormously.  This website goes on to explain the many advantages of women around the world having their full rights, and makes it clear that global progress and global prosperity will continue to have its own glass ceiling until equal rights is established.]]> 2017-03-15 21:19:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymelynnreed/5l1j58ubj5x6/wish/160381637 jaymelynnreed https://padlet.com/jaymelynnreed/5l1j58ubj5x6/wish/160382100 This photo is a chart that compares the average earnings of men and women.  As you can see, women under grade 9 got paid $6,290 less than men in 2006.  In the same year, women with master’s degrees earned $33,820 less than men with the same.  It is shown here that women’s pay is significantly lower than men’s.  This is a perfect example of how women face a barrier to advancement – also described as, the “glass ceiling.” ]]> 2017-03-15 21:22:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymelynnreed/5l1j58ubj5x6/wish/160382100 jaymelynnreed https://padlet.com/jaymelynnreed/5l1j58ubj5x6/wish/160382786 Leila Hoteit, a successful Arab businesswoman, shares her story and the difficulties she encountered making her place in the professional world. She was one of very few girls of her generation to pursue studies and a career, and she has always been in male-dominated environments. She has never found a role model she could identify with because men could never understand the difficulties for women in the industry. Arab women have had to become their own role models, and have stories and useful lessons to share with every woman wanting to strive in the modern world. Leila shares three of her lessons on breaking the glass ceiling.]]> 2017-03-15 21:26:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymelynnreed/5l1j58ubj5x6/wish/160382786 jaymelynnreed https://padlet.com/jaymelynnreed/5l1j58ubj5x6/wish/160383534 There has been progress on women’s empowerment in developing countries, but there is still much work to be done. Challenges remain large in countries such as the Middle East, South Asia, and South Sahara. Women still have difficulties accessing education, health care, technology, and income. This website discusses the lack of basic human rights for women in these countries. Violence against women and gender discrimination are part of their everyday life, and as long as these things are allowed and tolerated, women will continue to be restricted by the invisible barrier, keeping them weak and dependent.]]> 2017-03-15 21:31:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymelynnreed/5l1j58ubj5x6/wish/160383534 jaymelynnreed https://padlet.com/jaymelynnreed/5l1j58ubj5x6/wish/161953968 This is a simple visual representation of gender equality.  It is a tic-tac-toe game - played with male and female symbols instead of exes and ohs - that resulted in a tie game. The tie game symbolizes what feminists around the world want to achieve. Equality among men and women is desired. If achieved, women won't have to face the sad reality of the global glass ceiling any longer.]]> 2017-03-22 19:40:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymelynnreed/5l1j58ubj5x6/wish/161953968 jaymelynnreed https://padlet.com/jaymelynnreed/5l1j58ubj5x6/wish/161954531 Learn about the triumphs of various women and the Women’s Liberal Rights Movement. It is unbelievable the horrible treatment that women have endured. Rape is often used as a weapon of war, stripping women of their basic rights and dignity. It is a complete disregard of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. But there is hope for women in several countries, thanks to things such as micro credit schemes. Little by little, women are raising the glass ceiling. This video shows the progress we have made on the global issue of inequality.]]> 2017-03-22 19:42:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymelynnreed/5l1j58ubj5x6/wish/161954531 jaymelynnreed https://padlet.com/jaymelynnreed/5l1j58ubj5x6/wish/161957286 While Japan and South Korea are among the most developed countries in East Asia, they are two of the worst countries for gender inequality and traditional role attitudes. This website discusses whether the problem is a human capital gap or a glass ceiling, and goes into detail about their research and how they came to establish that it is, in fact, a glass ceiling. While it was impossible to determine the cause of the glass ceiling in these two countries, it was apparent that as women move up the corporate ladder into senior managerial positions, they face greater inequality and discrimination.]]> 2017-03-22 19:53:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymelynnreed/5l1j58ubj5x6/wish/161957286 jaymelynnreed https://padlet.com/jaymelynnreed/5l1j58ubj5x6/wish/163875728 2017-03-31 04:52:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymelynnreed/5l1j58ubj5x6/wish/163875728
