Presentation

As Michael said earlier, we have decided to go a different route this time and to get the class involved through a role-playing type presentation. By allowing the class to "become" the women facing great issues in the world, we can more effectively present our information and allow even those who knew little about these issues to gain insight and perspective. For my portion, I have decided to structure the presentation around the question "How can women forward their position in society if they must live in fear of being exploited." Rather than focusing on women who have achieved high status but cannot advance further (like discussing a woman who was denied a CEO position because of her gender) I chose to focus on women facing greater issues such as human rights violations. The women facing these challenges have the furthest to come in terms of equality, and that is why I paid them more attention.
