Women's rights

Post by va2016 »

The fact that women have to fight for their equal
rights and voice their opinions if they are facing
marital abuse has been clearly portrayed by the
Nadia character in this book.

I liked the fact that this has been highlighted in
the book, and discussed in detail, mostly like an
advocacy.

What do you folks think?

Thanks.

Yes. The book is definitely about female empowerment, which Adele personifies.

I believe equal work should mean equal rights. In the work place it should be based on employees ability to preform not for what hangs between their legs but if a women doesn't work as hard as others she doesn't deserve better pay either just because she's a women.

It's sad that getting rights have been a fight for women. It's a harsh reality that this struggle seems like a rebellion to some. I liked how strong Nadia is portrayed throughout the book, from the time her boss doesn't give her leave, to the time when her ex-husband bans her child from travelling. Go Nadia!

I was in the military and we did shift work and during those weeks we all had to stay up late into the night working inside submarine hulls that were extremely cold. It sucked for everyone. I was given the same pay as the person beside me based on my rank that was on my shoulder. I worked for that rank, everyone had, the same way. I don't understand why things are so different around the world. I haven't read My Trip to Adele YET but it sounds very interesting!

Yes the character of Nadia shows many hardships faced by women in male dominating society. Nadia living in Jordan ,a Muslim country, But Islam gives sufficient rights to women in every sphere of life,if properly implemented .
Make your ideals high enough to inspire you and low enough to encourage you.

It's so nice to hear about people who have faced hardships with no fear. Hat's off to you! I don't know about the pay scale, but society itself is a terrible beast in many places around the world. Equal rights are lawfully practiced, yet the expectations are different for different genders. It'll take some time, but hopefully everything will even out soon.

I think the writer did an excellent job at advocating for the rights of women which is a step in the right direction in fighting domestic violence

Thank you Swara but to be completely fair although I was in during war I never had to see any parts of the war. I guess being in the military is considered a feat in itself and most likely why everyone is paid by rank instead of gender. I agree though, we're getting there!

I enjoyed Nadia's story. It was an interesting insight into the life a woman in her culture.

Being there is fearless enough. Let me be honest with you, I'm definitely afraid. That's one of the reasons I salute great people like you. Keep up the good work!

Yes, I did appreciate that the authors included a strong female protagonist who was assertive and strong about standing up for herself and son.

I grew up in an equal household due to my father's culture and in how he was raised. I'm sure his military career served to enforce this natural idea of equality due to what was stated previously, equal pay for equal rank versus the inequality of gender pay outside of the military.
The more I was exposed to the world outside of my house and my family, the more I was exposed to the inequities and unbalance in the work and home life of others. I didn't understand it. I just couldn't fathom the idea or the rationalization behind making someone feel inferior due to gender.
I've never given up my ideals, though, and I don't allow myself to be treated unfairly or as less than equal. I try to raise my children to treat others fairly and as equals, and I hope they never accept any less from those that they allow into their lives.
I'm a stay at home mom, but not because that's where my husband thinks my place should be. I'm here because it's what I want right now while my boys are young, and my husband respects my maternal desire to do so. It's truly disheartening what some women go through, and the difficulties they endure fighting for what should be basic and natural โ€ฆ equality.

It is sad that in the 21st Century women are still fighting for their rights.
