My project is about women’s struggles and what they go through because they’re women. I chose this topic because of the inequality, hate, and discrimination that many women experience regularly. For my project, I went around asking women about a struggle or negative experience they had gone through because they were women. I asked them some questions, such as: “What is a struggle or negative experience they had gone through because they were a woman/girl?” and if they had no experiences, then I’d ask for an example they know or heard someone else has had. I gave them an index card to write down their struggle, and talked about them. Afterwards, I went around asking men what they believed women go through, then showed them the index cards with real struggles and experiences to get their opinions on them. I asked the men two questions: “What do they believe women go through, and what is their opinion on an index card?” I also shared some facts and statistics to provide evidence of the inequality towards women.
To create my project, I took all the index cards and organized and glued them in a notebook. Under each index card, I wrote the opinions of the men I asked for that specific card. For the first few pages of the book, I included some facts and statistics about inequality, listing the sources I used for these facts. The facts and statistics were a little bit of everything, some on the lack of research on women, some about healthcare. I plan on having at least 10 index cards with experiences and 10 opinions in total from the men I’d ask.
