Chernor introduces the argument by stating the shocking reality of how disadvantaged girls are around the world. ]]> 2018-03-09 13:25:51 UTC https://padlet.com/17003179/lnegegi70qsf/wish/240126864 17003179 https://padlet.com/17003179/lnegegi70qsf/wish/240126973 The evidence Chernor Bah provides us with is through 'first hand experience'. He tells us how his sisters experienced faced challenges he never did and if it weren't for his mother and her understanding of the value of education he never would have gotten to where he is at today. Additionally, Bah continues by telling us of the hardships his sisters had to face simply because they where female. They faced threats of sexual violence, men coming into contact with them and even when they where fairly young, men asking them for marriage. ]]> 2018-03-09 13:26:05 UTC https://padlet.com/17003179/lnegegi70qsf/wish/240126973 17003179 https://padlet.com/17003179/lnegegi70qsf/wish/240127028 Despite this article being consisting of the lack of rights girls have and how in some countries they still fail to receive any sort of education, Bah also tells us of how boys are discriminated.

Being a feminist myself, once I had read this article I was appalled at the lack of equality girls face in education to this day. ]]> 2018-03-09 13:28:06 UTC https://padlet.com/17003179/lnegegi70qsf/wish/240127905
