Global Advocacy for Women & the Status of Women Worldwide

Global Advocacy for Women & the Status of Women Worldwide

For the past 25+ years, I have served as a human rights advocate in various contexts and on various issues. Throughout these years of studying human rights concerns worldwide, I have confirmed that addressing human rights issues requires specifically addressing issues affecting women. That is because human rights abuses disproportionately and generationally impact women and, in turn, their communities. But when human rights are realized among women, it has an exponentially positive impact on children, the elderly, men, and the community. Based on this understanding, it is important to consider the current status of women worldwide and how we as individuals can best advocate for women throughout the globe. The following summarizes some key indicators of the political, economic, and social status of women worldwide and highlights ways to provide advocacy for women in our communities and around the globe.

International Women's Day 2018: Value and Worth – Lauren Moustakas

This International Women’s Day we celebrate women everywhere, the work that has been done to advance women’s rights, and the work that is currently being done to benefit women and girls globally. On this day especially, I am grateful for the women who have gone before me and the women who have shaped and influenced the woman I have become.

International Women's Day: Why, How, and Now in Achieving Women's Rights – Sosamma Samuel-Burnett, JD

Women make up about half of the world’s population. Women provide the majority of resources, support, and services to men, other women, children, elderly, disabled, and others in their care. Women serve countless hours in the home and in the marketplace. And there is no man, woman, or child in this world that did not start their life through a woman who conceived, carried, and delivered that person into the world. So why is it that women are still facing disparity, discrimination, and abuse in political, social, and economic terms? On this International Women’s Day, let us take a closer look at the questions of “why?” but also the question of “how?” women can achieve human rights worldwide.

Can Character Assessment by Algorithm Create a Wonderful Life?

For decades, It’s a Wonderful Life has been shown every Christmas season. Besides being an icon of America’s cinematic history, this movie offers us a historic perspective of how credit, both financial and social, intertwined before today’s computers and technology. Set on Christmas Eve of 1945, the plot relives the life of banker George Bailey about to commit suicide because some of the bank’s money has been inadvertently misplaced by his absent-minded uncle, which unfortunately occurs just before a government audit of his bank’s financial records is due, placing the bank’s continuance in peril. I won’t spoil the ending for those who haven’t seen the movie, but suffice to say, the movie delves into topics of vital consequence in today’s world of credit.

School Shootings: Prevention Priorities

On Valentine’s Day 2018, my family was celebrating together at home and at our children’s schools. Cards, chocolates, flowers, and sentiments of love and affection abounded. But in the backdrop were news reports of the school shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida — such a stark contrast from the Valentine’s Day sentiments and such a terrible loss of 17 lives.
