For my presentation I picked a fascinating topic that interested me for a while now- Muslim women. After all my research I was both shocked and terrified. Women are treated like slaves and prey, rather than wives or daughters. Although Islam seems a terrible choice of religion for women, that haunts them for the rest of their life, it didn't start that way. Prophet Muhammad's words were mis-interpreted over time, but even in the ancient Koran and Sharia Law, there is a huge difference between women and men's power and rights. I found out how they are treated, the good and the bad, depending on their location. Strangely, even in a higher, more developed country they are still at risk. I realized that clothing wasn't a major problem as I used to think of. Sadly, nobody pays attention or listens to their opinions, they just make assumptions. And the poor women get used to it, they find nothing wrong in getting beat up and abused by their own relative. It is revolting, but the numbers of women feminists are starting to raise and they are very slowly making their way to equality by government jobs, although it sounds impossible. To present this I made a Wix. I hope that my peers understood and learnt something from my presentation, because it was meant to be eye opening and to clear any uncertainties.

Ana your presentation was great, and I think you did a great job explaining the situation some women in this world are found in and that they are treated this way only because of there religion.
ReplyDeleteYour presentation was great with lots of visuals, and your activity (there traditional Jihad clothing) was very amusing.
Keep up the great work!
