I Am A Strong Believer Of Feminism And Lesbian Rights

Hannah Sanders Peace Studies 27, September 2016 Peace Women Paper Peace Women I am a strong believer in feminism and lesbian rights. I chose to research five women from different places across the world who took a stand for lesbian rights. These ladies include: Zohl de Ishtar (Australia), Haya Shalom (Israel), Izabela Jaruga (Poland), Lo Sai â€Å"Rose† Wu (China, Hong Kong), and Chuen Juei Ho (China, Taiwan). The first peace woman I want to talk about is Zohl de Ishtar. Zohl is an â€Å"Australian lesbian who helps women in Australia on projects in communities and even world wide† (PeaceWomen Across the Globe). By working on the international level she is able to work with a diverse number of people. â€Å"She has worked to eliminate nuclear weapons and militarism, campaigned to improve the rights of all peoples, defended cultural integrity and strived to end any form of discrimination, with an emphasis on sexuality† (PeaceWomen Across the Globe). Zohl not only wants to help women with a so called unusual sexual orientation, b ut also the general public. The second peace woman I want to talk about is Haya Shalom from Israel. Haya is a feminist sponsoring human rights as a lesbian. â€Å"She is one of the most well-known women supporting women’s unity for peace and women’s rights† (PeaceWomen Across the Globe). I respect Shalom for having such an impact on women’s rights while being a lesbian. I cannot see the journey to gain rights being an easy task for her. I read that Shalom participatedShow MoreRelatedWhy I Am A Friend1526 Words   |  7 PagesWhen I was younger, my mother used to preach that me I could be anybody that I wanted to be, but I guess some place between being fifteen and needing to fit in, I decided I didn’t want to be anything at all, or, even better, I chose I wanted to be anything the people around me wanted me to be. And somewhere along the way I lost what it meant to be me completely. I looked in the mirror, but I no longer knew who was staring back. I should admit, for quite a while I enjoyed the ominous way I could smileRead MoreMy View Of Gender Inequality1677 Words   |  7 Pagesthis class were that my worldview was going to be expanded. I knew that gender inequality was a complex topic and the ways in which it is unequally is not always apparent or obvious. I expected this class to point out things in which I had been previously blind to or things I have noticed before but hadn’t really thought about the negative impact it could have on people of a certain gender. I would like to think that before this class I was decently aware of gender issues and before the class evenRead MoreAnalysis Of Olive s View Verena2453 Words   |  10 Pagesâ€Å"‘You do believe – though you pretend you don’t – that I control her actions, and as far as possible her desires and that I am jealous of any other relations she may possibly form† (James, Bostonians 312). Olive puts herself as the guardian or caretaker for Verena and th is is not her real role; it is the role of Verena’s father. It is the patriarchal role Olive wants to play. Hence Olive Chancellor represents the true believer of the feminist right to replace man’s patriarchal role in family and in societyRead MoreWhat Analysis of the Female Role Does Atwood Offer in The Handmaids Tale?2016 Words   |  9 Pagesare treated like objects and all of their rights are taken away from them. They cannot vote, hold property or jobs, read, or do anything else that might cause them to become rebellious or independent, and undermine the men, or the state.
