March 30, 2014.. Sometimes, issues related to women's rights are neglected. While it may seem understandable, even intelligible, to have strict voter ID laws, it could end up backfiring. Here in the United States, new laws – which could be enforced nationally – are said to make it harder for women to vote. Many women change their last name when they get married. However, many others also change their last name upon divorce. It is much more difficult to change their name on official documents. If the discrepancy is found, as will most likely be the case with the new laws, these women could be discredited and not allowed to vote at all. If their voice is not heard in the national elections, the situation will be similar to the one they had before obtaining the vote. The Athenian government was described as a democracy, but women, slaves, and foreigners did not have the right to vote. The world would return to a patriarchal world and women would have to fight for the right to vote again. The works of Florence Nightingale, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and many others will be reversed.Denn, William. “Women deserve a fighting chance.” Washington Post [Washington, DC] April 4, 2014, A17: n. page. Researcher on SIRS issues. Internet. May 21, 2014. Even in arguably the best and most developed country in the world, a country to which non-natives flock to take advantage of opportunities, women are still middle of the paper. Settled in their patriarchal path, many countries are turning away from this continuity. It appears that these countries will continue to benefit their female populations. After all, the plethora of articles written makes a lot of noise about popular opinion on gender disparity. While some countries accept genital mutilation, abuse or denial of education, many others do not. Certainly, the worst inequalities in treatment occur in undemocratic (i.e., the Middle East) or extremely corrupt (i.e., India) governments. And many of the most equal opportunities for women – equal pay and unrestricted activist careers – are found in the United States. According to these articles, women in developed countries could increasingly achieve parity, while women in less developed countries face a much more difficult situation. battle. Maybe one day we'll return to egalitarianism.
