Abortion: Morality vs Law
In developed countries such as the United States and Canada, abortion is legal. This law is gives women the freedom to chose whether they want to keep the unexpected pregnancy or not. Abortion is performed all over the world whether the country had made it legal or not. Back in the 1880s in the United States abortion was already legal. The ability to obtain a safe abortion depended upon a women's economic situation, her race and where she lived. Rich women were able to receive the proper performance of abortion, but it was a different story for those that were pour. Most of the times it was the coloured women that performed dangerous abortions that might lead to death because of their finances and colour. They would insert knitting needles, or coat hangers into the uterus and would sometimes swallow strong drugs and chemicals. . There are clinics and hospitals that benefit women by performing legal and safe abortion. 

Now, I was very chocked when I read this and wondered how people live after killing their own fetus, that was supposed to become a human being. I honestly think that abortion is not a good decision to make. If you think that you're not qualified to be a mother, adoption is always an option.

My personal opinion on this subject is that it is wrong to have an abortion.  It is morally wrong to kill a human being whether it's still an fetus or not. We all have different points of views when it comes to this subject but, my opinion is that abortion should be illegal because it is simply wrong.  I understand that some women are not willing to put up with the work that it requires to care of a baby and they're not willing to go through the pain but if you were to put yourself into the baby's situation, maybe it might help you keep the baby. The only reason why we're here is because our parents specifically our moms decided to keep us till we're given birth. I think that abortion is simply not a wise decision, it's a selfish decision

Jailed for ''moral crimes''

The number of women and girls jailed by Afghan authorities has increased by 50%. These girls and women are jailed for ''moral crimes''. The number increased from 400 in October 2011 to 600 in May 2013. Women in Afghanistan suffer from domestic violence and are forced to marry people they are not willing to marry. Most women decide to flee their homes because of their abusive husbands. 

Running away is not a crime under Afghan law, but the Afghan Supreme Court has told judges to regard as criminals women who flee their homes. 

 '' Four years after the adoption of a law on violence against women and 12 years Taliban rule, women are still imprisoned for being victims of forced marriage, domestic violence and rape,''. said Brad Adams.

 Women can hardly hold jobs, attend school and are not even allowed to leave their household unless accompanied by a male relative. The Afghan government needs to be tough on the women abusers instead  blaming women who are crime victims.

This was very shocking to me because I cannot imagine myself living with someone I've never wanted to marry . I don't know about you but I think that this is one of the reasons why the rate of rape is so high in Afghanistan. Men will certainly take advantage of that law because as long as there's no four male witnesses to protest against the rapist. I personally think that the law in Afghanistan needs to change and they should stop treating women like animals. I think that the law needs to make it legal for women  to divorce their abusive husbands. Jailing them is not the solution to the problem, as a matter of fact the problem is in the law. My opinion is that women in all countries should have the rights as everyone. I believe that women in Afghanistan should be treated in the same way as males.  Women shouldn't have to live like this. No one should be forced to marry anyone, no one should be forced to live with an abusive husband ,and no one should be jailed for fleeing from their home. 

 We should all have a choice to choose what we want and who we want. It is our human right to feel safe and secured to in our country and not have to be accompanied by a male relative. 

They should be allowed to be educated and maybe the country will change. As we all know that education is one of the most powerful thing that can change the world. Afghanistan needs more education and that will help them understand the value of women.

 Heforshe.

Heforshe is a solidarity movement for gender equality that wants to bring men and women to work together for the good of all. 167, 419 men all around the world are taking a stand for gender equality. There's 10,907 men in Canada that re willing to take a stand. Heforshe is not only about women but also men. It's also about stopping men's problems. Unlike feminism most likely bashed males and made them look like enemies. Heforshe invites all people including men to join in changing the world and bring equality to everyone because that is the human right. 

Emma Watson.
Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson is an English actress and model born on April 15th 1990 in Paris, France. She knew that she that she wanted to be an actress and she practiced at a part-time theater school were she practiced singing, dancing and acting. I think you might recognized her if i say that she acted in all eight movies of Harry Potter. 
But, Emma Watson is more than just an actress, she also a feminist. She supports the Heforshe campaign. She invites everybody to participate in the movement for gender equality because it's incomplete unless both men and women are involved. She made a speech about Heforshe and hours after her speech threats and rumors began.  A lot of people are posting bad photo-shopped pictures of her trying to break her legacy that she just built by giving the speech about feminism. There are people that making such a big deal out of it and want to bring her down by saying she took nudes. It's a big thing going on right now. 

 I think that what Emma is doing is great. She sees the problem that had made this world suffer. There has been a lot of campaigns about women's right but most of them never invited men to join in the movement. That's what's different from Heforshe. I also think that what Emma Watson said in her speech is what this world really needs. She spoke the truth. She gave new meaning to feminism by inviting everybody to the movement not just women only. 

She's one of those people that want to do the right thing and there will always be those people that will want to stop you from doing the right thing. I really hope that one day both men and women from all places in the world will come together as one, have equality, and work together for the best of all.

Malala: The girl that was shot for going to school

Malala Yousafzai is a young teenage girl. Her hometown is Pakistan but her family moved to Britain. At the age of 15 on October 9th 2012 she was shot in the head by Taliban Gunmen. Her crime was speaking up for the right of girls to be educated.  

 ''I didn't want my future to be imprisoned in my four walls and just cooking and giving birth'' Malala Yousafzai. 

Life here in Canada, anybody can go to school. There's private schools where you have to pay school fees and catholic schools and public  schools that do not require schools fees. But in countries like Pakistan or Afghanistan females do not obtain the same rights that we have. I think it's cruel to take away women's rights and treating them like animals. They are abused, harassed and in worst cases beaten or shot to death for speaking up just like Malala. '' We cannot succeed when half of us are held back''. Malala Yousafzai

I thank God that Malala survived from the shot. She's a hero and we should all take her example and speak up for what is right.

Unfortunately, one of the things that most undeveloped countries do not understand is that women are needed and they are very qualified to do works that men do. They are brave and strong and deserve justice. Therefore, they should receive the same rights as men including the right to be educated. Males and females are all equal.

Women deserve to be treated with respect and honor because, as a matter of fact they are the ones that give birth to new leaders, doctors and presidents of this world. It's not fair that they have to suffer and cannot even be aloud to leave their country trying to find a better life. It's not fair that even sometimes the first son of the family would be treated with much more respect and honor than the mother. Women should be appreciated and treated equally because, ''there will never be a new world order until women are part of it'' Alice Paul.
