Nowadays, women  are still fighting for their rights in many societies around the world…
Personally I have always felt some inequalities between men and women. I can take the example of my mother: she comes back home from work very tired but she is still earning less than her male colleagues.  In reality her salary is low because she's a woman… This situation is unfair!
Women fight every day, some make demonstrations ,TV documentaries and movies to denounce this injustice…
I wish the new generation will get better. I recommend the serie entitled The ladies on the  telephone.

Dream: What courses do you take?
Alyssa: I take economics as my course selection, last year i took biomedical science
and next year i'm doing engineering
Dream: Are any of those classes mostly guys?
Alyssa: Yes, well, it depends on what you take..more girls are in like the medicine
pathway but there’s far more guys in business and engineering / computer science
from what I’ve seen
Dream: And how do you feel in those classes where there's far more guys in?
Alyssa: It depends what class it is, because  an honors or AP class will have much
more mature guys that you feel comfortable working with. Academy boys at my school
genuinely make me uncomfortable with the stuff they say and how they act Inside and
outside of a classroom
Dream: Has any of the guys harassed you?
Alyssa: I’ve had a guy grab my arm and like stroke it. I’ve had guys make fun of me
after giving an argument in a class (when the argument was assigned). The argument
was about women being harassed, which him doing that luckily proved my point.
Dream: Did anyone ever question your course choices because "it's not for women"?

Alyssa: I’ve only had my dad tell me I need to practice cooking and cleaning, No ones
never told me to not peruse something because i'm a women, it was like encouraged in
my family to do something that’s a “mans job”
Dream: Why did you choose those courses?
Alyssa: .I wanted to be a pediatrician originally so choose Biomed. I wanted another AP
class and wanted to challenge myself. I want to do Aerospace engineering

As you know , the 8th march is an important day for women.The day when women celebrate their
rights,when they got freedom for many things but some things are still the same in
the world .
Last week ,thanks to an event organized  and I got to know so many things like
the  « SCALE OF VIOLENCE ». It is a good indicator to define the
relationships and it measures the level of violence and toxicity in a couple. Thanks to it I can know if my
partner is manipulating me ,not respecting my opinions or being violent with me. It can help everyone stop a toxic relationship.
Thanks to a quiz , I discovered that there were such legendary women who fought
and became  important figures like the first female prime minister: Edith Cresson or realisator of
movie directors ... I felt so proud to realize as a woman I can achieve so many things..
Next , I look forward to many testimonies of classmates in this event that shocked me
because I never expected it .A woman is targeting another about her clothes , she told her that a woman unveiled deserves to be raped. There was also the testimony of a little girl who was abused by her own uncle . It is so coward to demean or judge a woman for her way of  her thinking , dressing or if she is going ahead in her professionalcareer.
Some, individuals always remind women that she is a girl and she doesn't have to go beyond the limits to be in her limits. Some people consider man as superior to women so they can do whatever they like. This situation is unbearable and unfair, it has to stop definitely.
Personally it makes me sad, at least today we have to celebrate gender equality.
In my opinion such event is useful at school so that boys can learn about girl power and need to
know that we are not objects and we deserve respect.

Gender equality is not defined by words but by some actions. It can be a source of a
new mind in this world , no doubt there are also men who are discriminated but women
are more victims and they all have to understand the feelings women bear everyday . To men put yourself in our shoes...

As we know  last week it was the international women’s day.
For better understanding this day  last Tuesday I asked many questions about this important date. In a moment of the day one of the girls who answered my questions showed me
a paper ruler « scale of violence » so she explained the importance
of this object: it’s a paper where we can measure the level of violent and toxic relationships.  I
find this device very helpful and useful for women.
The international women’s day is a day where many women focus on freedom, gender
equality and  respect.
Acording to me the part that made me shocked was the testimonies  of the
girls who suffered a street harassement and there are one that made me sad because
the victim was just 13 years old and her assaulter was her own
uncle. 
In my opinion such event is useful to organize at school because it can help us to
understand  women and maybe stop many potential assaulters or inform girls and women about potential dangers . To conclude women deserve a better life.

The 8th of  March there was an event organised at school:  the international women's day, a day of
peace and respect about the women's rights. during this event, I learnt a lot of facts
about this issue (the harassement of women and t rape..) For example, who can say
the street harassement suffered by the women is of 25% or the stats of the women
who have already been harrassed is of 95%. I also read the testimonies of
girls, my classmates, who have been sexually harrassed or abused and it was very frightening. Finally, the
statistic that can shock people  most is the rate of women who have received some
form of sexual harassment, which is of 86%.
