"Hokay"

At Hornby High School we have been asked how we can have a positive impact on the community?

To do this first I had to choose a topic. I specifically chose Gender Issues because I think it affects many people in the community and would like to make a different appearance on this issue. We formed a group called "Hokay". In the group was Michelle, Tyrepa and I.

To help us understand further information on gender issues we needed to find websites that gave us information on the topic we chose. These are the websites we accessed:

Website Name	Link	Date we accessed site
What causes Gender Inequlity	https://www.nyu.edu/classes/jackson/causes.of.gender.inequality/	14/11/17
The global Problem	https://www.huffingtonpost.com/nake-m-kamrany/gender-inequality_b_1417535.html	13/11/17
SNN	http://www.scholarsstrategynetwork.org/brief/how-gender-inequality-persists-modern-world	16/11/17

We then had to answer some questions about our topic;
Who is affected: Everyone globally is affected by gender inequality
What are the issues: Men thinking that women are fragile therefore they sell or seduce them
When and how did it start: When European started enslaving women
Where is it happening: It's happening in countries that have a high population homelessness
Why is it happening: Because of the thought that's been put into our minds that men are better and stronger and meant to be dominating

Then we had to make an action plan to help our situation;
Since its hard for us to actually help the women affected by this we are planning on making posters and pamphlets about gender inequality and posting them around school plus putting them up around our community. We would also like to contact Tearfund and ask what we can do to help
