Blog 5-Impact of Women's Health Class

 

 

     I believe the most influential topic covered this semester has been the importance of education to women and children around the world in order to improve their quality of life and to empower them to get out of abusive life styles.  We are truly blessed to live in a country where we have access to healthcare, education, and freedom to make choices on how we live our lives.  Women are terrorized for attending schools and trying to better their lives.  War and poverty have destroyed the access to education, healthcare, and employment for many women worldwide.  It is up to people who are more fortunate to help these people out.  We can make a difference by providing education to people and organizations encouraging them to reach out to those less fortunate.  Education is the key to helping people become aware of the issues faced worldwide, and education is the key to helping people become self sufficient.  With knowledge the possibilities are endless. 

    Boko Haram, "Western education is forbidden," is an organization that has killed thousands of people in the past year and kidnapped over 500 school girls because they understand the impact that education has on these girls.  The do not want the advancement of women, and continue to strive to prevent and intimidate girls from getting an education especially in Nigeria.  In providing more access to schools, we have endangered these girls.  There will always be people who do not welcome change which is why is more critical now more than ever that we become informed and do our part in helping out those less fortunate.  This class has given me access to many charitable organizations that are making a difference in the lives of many.  Education is essential for the success of our world.
