Women’s rights EL DERECHO DE LA MUJER

Derechos de los animals
Rights of Animals

We are moms , sisters end friends

Ratified on August 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
granted American women the right to vote—a right known as woman suffrage. At
the time the U.S. was founded, its female citizens did not share all of the same
rights as men, including the right to vote. It was not until 1848 that the movement
for women’s rights launched on a national level with a convention in Seneca
Falls, New York, organized by abolitionists Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902)
and Lucretia Mott (1793-1880). Following the convention, the demand for the
vote became a centerpiece of the women’s rights movement. Stanton and Mott,
along with Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906) and other activists, formed
organizations that raised public awareness and lobbied the government to grant
voting rights to women. After a 70-year battle, these groups finally emerged
victorious with the passage of the 19th Amendment.

Human
rightsWHY HUMAN RIGHTS?
According to Wikipedia
We believe that realizing human rights is the
essential first step to building just societies.
When people are empowered to pursue their
own destinies and have a voice in shaping
solutions to problems they experience, they
are better equipped to overcome poverty, live
with dignity and transform the lives of others.

NO TO RACISM
TOP REASON OF THE RACISM IN THE WORLD
1. INTRINSIC HUMAN NATURE

2. ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL
INSECURITY

6. FRAGMENTATION/STRATIFICATION OF SOCIETY

7. MASS MEDIA AND POPULAR CULTURE

 Make an effort to get to know people different than you
 simple ideas to eliminate
racism
 Learn about other people and their culture
 Think before you speak.
 Be a role model.
 Don't make assumptions.

SOCIAL JUSTICE
Zohra Zaimi
Student at The International Institute Saint Louis

Educating For Change
Conference

What is social justice?
• The fair relation between the individual and society.
• It exists when “all people share a common humanity and therefore have a
right to equal treatment, support for their human rights, and a fair
allocation of community resources.”

Some important topics on social
justice:

Refugees
• A person who has been forced to flee their native
country and unable to return to, for many reasons :
o Membership in a particular social group
o Political opinion
o Nationality
o Natural disaster : Earthquakes; Floods; Fires….
o Violence
o Religion
o Race
o War
o Etc…..

Racism
• The belief that some races are better or inherently
superior (physically, intellectually, or culturally) to
others.
• The unfair treatment of someone because of his or her
race.
• The belief that some races have a right to dominate
another race.
• Hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

ment

Human / Children rights
• Human rights are those rights which are essential to live as human beings –
basic standards without which people cannot survive and develop in dignity.
Human rights are inherent to the human person, inalienable and universal.
• Human rights exist to make sure that we are treated properly and fairly, and
given the freedom to develop to our full potential, and to promote our
wellbeing.
• In addition to the rights that are available to all people, there are rights that
apply only to children. Children need special rights because of their unique
needs – they need additional protection that adults don’t.

 The right to be educated.
 The right to be heard.
 The right to be treated fairly.
 The right to be healthy.
 The right to a fair chance in life.
 The right to survive.
 The right to be in a safe and loving home.
 The right to grow up in a safe environment.
 No child labor or recruitment into armed forces.
 No child physical, psychological, emotional or sexual abuse.
 No early marriage.
 No sex tourism.
 Etc………

The Color of the Crime
These events cause threats, death, fear, unemployment, school dropouts, and more.
We need to stop judging and making incorrect assumptions towards a whole race just because a couple of people
made some mistakes.
Racism has been a problem for far too long, even though it has slowed down a lot!
We’re all different people, but part of one community. Everyone has the right to be
included and belong.

Respect each other
Treating people with respect
makes your world a nicer
place to live in. We live in a
diverse nation made up of
many different cultures,
languages, races, and
backgrounds. The ability to
see your own behaviors…
Attitude. The desire to not
cause offense.
Knowledge. Particularly the
understanding that cultural
knowledge, if not used
carefully, can stereotype.
Skills. The ability to act
appropriate, and monitor your
own behavior.

Good education begins at home!
*Teach kids to love unconditionally.
*Teach kids to apologize when they are wrong, and forgive when they are wronged.
*Teach kids to show unexpected kindness and help the less fortunate when they can.
* Teach your children manners.
“Studies show that children who are exposed to a more diverse community are more
creative and tolerant of differences. These students learn how to resolve conflict
more easily.”

It may be hard to break the habit, but try to stop using racial slurs as soon as possible. This may sound
obvious, but racial slurs and stereotypes are hurtful to people, even if they are not meant to be
serious.You may not even be aware that your language has a racial meaning . Racist jokes aren't funny.
The fact that you don't mean it, or that you are only intending to be humorous, doesn't make it
acceptable to use racist language or to stereotype others.
Often times, racist behavior isn't about saying something nasty to another person, it's about less
obvious behavior like not interviewing someone for a job because their name sounds foreign, or not
sitting by someone on the bus because of their skin color.

Embrace diversity !!
Quotes About Racism:
“It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate
those differences.”
― Audre Lorde, Our Dead Behind Us: Poems
“I have a dream that one day little black boys and girls will be holding hands with little white
boys and girls.”
― Martin Luther King Jr., I Have A Dream
“Men build too many walls and not enough bridges.”
― Joseph Fort Newton

Educating yourself is the best way to
change your attitudes and beliefs.
It may seem like a good idea to pretend everyone is the same color, but you will miss out on how differences are
natural and good.Value diversity instead of ignoring it. Race is often linked to cultural differences (e.g. language,
holidays, clothing, etc.) that influence how a person experiences the world. If you are colorblind, you are not
acknowledging these differences.
