Women, Education, and Development

Hello ! guess what? yesterday i had a big lecture in Rapson hall about women and education. it was difficult note-taking lecture because our speaker tried to focus on many points and jumped back and forth on those issues. any way our lecturer, Arvonne Fraser, was great; she is a patient woman who dedicate her life to creating equal right for women around the world. she began her lecture with interesting information that she has gained through her career in the U.N. she pointed out that there are 10 critical issues on women development. one good example that she gave us was a violence against women in 1995. she talked about many conventions that occurred in U.N, including the theme "equality, employment, and peace." she asserted that educated women have fewer children. to conclude her lecture, i think she still believe that there is a gap between men and women, many women are still facing illiterate.
