    Education in women

    of Developing
    Countries
    Jennifer Morales

    Essential Question

    How can the global community place higher priority


    on encouraging and empowering developing
    countries to educate women?

    Quick Facts
    Women make up two thirds of the worlds 796 million illiterate people.
    Even though young girls attend primary school, a majority of them
    dont move on to secondary school because of early marriage.
    Parents prefer to pay school fees for boys while girls stay at home
    and assist with farm labor, housework, and often act as second
    parents to siblings (Johannes).

    Afghanistan

    Women and girls have often been the


    worst victims of conflict. Under the Taliban,
    women were forced to wear an allencompassing burqa in public and barred
    from working outside the home. They were
    also banned from attending schools, riding
    bicycles, wearing brightly colored clothes,
    or laughing loudly. As many as 1 million
    women have been widowed by
    Afghanistans wars and left with few
    options for supporting themselves and their
    families (Razias Ray of Sunshine).
    An estimated 2,000 Afghan women and
    girls attempt suicide by setting themselves
    on fire each year, which is linked to
    domestic violence and early or forced
    marriages (Human Rights Watch).

    Kenya

    Pupil drop out in Kwale peaks during the


    later years of primary school, as stated
    reflecting the withdrawal of children from
    school due to early marriage or pregnancy
    (Munyao).

    "One hundred and twenty-five girls will


    never be mutilated...One hundred and
    twenty-five girls will not be married when
    they're 12 years old. One hundred and
    twenty-five girls are creating and achieving
    their dreams (Girl Effect).

    Malala Yousafzai

    Who is Malala?
    Shes a teenage activist from Pakistan who along with her father
    that founded a school
    She secretly wrote blogs to BBC writing about the right to education
    Taliban had a strong hate towards her and her father due to the fact
    that they believed in the right to education.
    She publicly made a speech called How dare the Taliban take away
    by basic right to education
    She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014

    He named me Malala
    This documentary is based on Malala Yousafzais
    life and what she had to go through to bring
    awareness to education. It talks about the biggest
    scare she had to face but also how she became a
    bigger activist because of it.

    Senior Project
    My project is to bring Malala to students. Not physically, but through her
    documentary. Not everyone knows about the impact she had on the
    countries not only in the Middle East but around the world. I feel like my
    project, can have a huge impact not only to BACS students but students
    around our community.

    BACS
    Fashion
    Show 2016

    Purpose of the Fashion


    Show
    To ensure equality not only in the school
    but around our community
    Incorporate pop culture into the topic of
    equality
    We focused on student rights and the
    right to education
    We also used the money we raised that
    night for the foster care of RI.

    How did we bring Awareness?


    By collaborating with student from our
    community (Shea High School) we
    ensured that the models wore what they
    felt was comfortable without judgement
    from staff, other models, students, or the
    audience. For example, a Kevin Mira
    (Junior at BACS) decided that he wanted
    to wear a female dress as a shirt.
