Week 5

This weeks videos talk about the war on women. The government is making it harder and harder for women to get an abortion. The pay rate for women is lower than males by a large percentage.  Our current society doesn't respect the rights of women. The entire world needs to practice reproductive justice. Women don't get the respect they deserve.

I agree with this weeks videos, women do not receive the respect they deserve for everything that they do for us. It is not fair that women get almost half of what a white male would make in the same time period. It is a problem that arose from the past where women were limited to working in the house cleaning and cooking. Women have a lot more to offer and a lot more mental skill than men.

Poverty- the state of being extremely poor.

intersectionality- the interconnected nature of social categorizations such as race, class, and gender as they apply to a given individual or group, regarded as creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage.

reproductive justice- Human right that can only be achieved when all women have the complete economic, social, and political power and resources to make choices in all decisions in their lives.
