Organising a meeting

Two days before the walk we set up a meeting to give information to the girls that wanted to go. I don't think boys wanted to go because they're lazy.. shh. There was a group of 10 that came.

Walk against slavery!!

On Wednesday the 29th of November, A group of us did a walk against slavery. We were wearing mostly black and holding signs from Hornby High School to Westfield Mall in Riccarton and back. It took us three hours! THREE!! At the end we had sore feet and were hot even though it was an overcast. During the walk we got a lot of honks from passing cars and thumbs up even some encouraging words from passing pedestrians. We were even able to walk through the mall getting stares. And somehow it took us a week to make 4 posters.. Whoops. And only ONE looked good! There was only one mishap were a man passing in a car pulled the finger at us.. But other then that every thing was good! We had a great day and returned to school with pride.

What can we do?

These are our action plans for helping gender inequality:

"Gender inequality is not a woman's issue, it is a human issue. It affects us all."

'Hokay' is our group name. In my group is Kashaye Une, Tyrepa Akeimo and myself. We have chosen gender issues as our topic. Since gender inequality is a big problem globally we think we can help the situation even by the tiniest bit. For our research we used these websites;

Website Name	Link	Date we accessed site
United Nations	Website	13/11
IDLO	Website	13/11
TGPGI	The global problem with gender inequality	15/11
Peace corps	Peace corps	15/11
RGI	roots of gender issues	15/11

We then had to answer some questions about our topic;

Who is affected; Everyone globally is affected by gender inequality.

What are the issues; Men get more of everything than women but men are also affected by gender inequality sometimes.

When did this start; When Europeans started enslaving women.

Where is this happening; It happens more in poor countries. Families selling of their children for money.

Why is this happening; This is happening because its been put in our heads that men are better because they're stronger and are meant to be dominating.

Then we had to make an action plan to help our situation;
Since its hard for us to actually help the women affected by this we are planning on making posters and pamphlets about gender inequality and posting them around school plus putting them up around our community.

I think it will be a good project for us to do. Y'know helping the world even by just a little. And its good that the teachers have a tighter system than market enterprise earlier in the year. That means all students will have done something.
