To begin, the article by Kate Greany for Gender and Education, informs educators about Sudan’s misleading literacy programs, which perpetuate gender stereotypes. The purpose is to empower women by teaching them to read, yet encouraging them to reinforce stereotypes. Women created a booklet, “How wives can help their husbands”, and one point suggested, “(3) ‘Women must talk well to her husband at all times’”. Gender norms clash with attempts to build up women, in both developed and underdeveloped nations. Sudanese women rarely get the chance to attend school.Education is fundamental in developing views of the world.
Hence, the Sudanese promote programs for women, as long as they enforce misogynistic Sudanese culture. Women’s education ends after elementary, creating the need for these programs. In the U.S, these programs aren’t needed and laws have been passed to battle gender discrimination in school. Since these laws were passed over 25 years ago, these issues aren’t as prominent in American culture.
Additionally, in the article by Emily Gardner for the American Journal of Sexuality Education, educators are informed about abstinence-only sex education curriculums in …show more content…

Seekamp states, “Poor children complete two fewer years of schooling, work 451 fewer hours per year, earn less than half as much, receive $826 per year more in food stamps as adults, and are more than twice as likely to report poor overall health or high levels of psychological distress(11).” As presented, children who have grown up in poverty are more likely to need financial help in the future.

The world is full of problems, but an issue that I have chosen to shed some light on is the education in Burkina Faso or rather the lack of education for females in Burkina Faso. Burkina Faso is a country with very low literacy rates and just does not have a very good education system. The education system is charging large amounts of money to the very poor families who barely have enough money to keep all of their family living. In the article, “It’s Not Just About the Boys. Get Girls into School,” written by Jonathan Alter and published on Newsweek he focuses on spreading awareness about all the reasons in which certain children in Burkina Faso are not getting the proper education if they are getting any education at all.

While there are other questions to examine in relation to ISIS, I believe her overarching argument during this lecture was to question how ISIS as it grows into a larger more stable 'state' affects the lives and development of women and their societies.
