The Politics

In this recent poll  it shows that 75 percent of teens have a Facebook page. The data also showed that 30 percent of teen girls check their Facebook’s continuously throughout the day. All that time on the Internet and yet, when I took my own personal survey of girls aged between 13-23 only 1% of the girls could locate Afghanistan on a world map. 213 of the worlds Woman’s rights experts were surveyed in this recent poll: that shows what they consider to be the world’s worst place to be a woman. Afghanistan was number one.

So aren’t we lucky to be living in a first world country? Can you imagine if Kate Sheppard was more interested in finding a suitable husband than her own liberal rights? We might be living in a society where as women we still can’t vote. But then of course, it seems we

are living in a society where teenage girls care more about updating their Facebook status than deciding who to vote for. So thanks for nothing Kate Shepard! How can we feel empathy for women’s rights in other countries such as Afganistan if we don’t even care, as women, about our own rights? This an inspirational video about an organization called The Girl Effect; which aims to inspire girls, into helping other girls around the globe and showing how the idea of feminism can be put into action.

Also a very powerful website which is all about Muslim Feminism taking a stand, which i found very inspirational and hopfully more people will become aware and support this website; http://muslimfeminists.tumblr.com/websites
The politics of the issue is -as quoted from the feminist.com website;

"Women's issues intersect with every other part of life".
