As I conclude New Dimensions in Women's Health, there were several topics that had an impact on my opinions of women both within the United States and globally. Of the topics that had the most impact, reviewing women as sex slaves, in present times, in Europe and Asia was astonishing. The topic was distressing knowing women are treated with such cruelty and most are unaware they are being sold.
Another topic that had a profound effect was the fact that in several countries in Asia there are those who actually approves of aborting female daughters even in the latter stages of pregnancies. A fellow student displayed pictures regarding an aborted female child, which appeared full term. Learning such practices continue today due to husbands wanting male children, gives pause to know there is a need to advocate for women's rights globally.
After reviewing A Powerful Noise, it became apparent, women are making powerful differences in how females are treated globally. Teaching young females how to read and learn various skills to increase their income, HIV infected women spreading information regarding prevention and women organizing themselves after the Bosnian War should, in my opinion, be awarded with the highest honors . Such wonderful changes in women's health, affords me the opportunity to attempt to make a difference as well. I applaud every woman who make a difference in women and girls' lives.
I am now more interested in traveling abroad to aid in ending female genital mutilation and to promote wellness globally.
