Reparations for the emancipated kings and queens
Generations of races, That went through lines of changes, to bring riches to the blameless. The people call it reparation, but they get paid for suffering, don’t they know our pain? Why doesn’t my race get paid? We barely even get paid the same. The folks who set the bar, Left us to build it. This country still isn't stable, Because we’re still building. African Americans, so-called “Blacks”, in the line of payment, we’re always last. Does the government even react that fast? Considering some obvious and certain facts, history’s important events have led us on this track. The Japanese...
A Woman is More Than Just a Glitter
A woman is more than just a glitter Women are regarded as "weak" and "fragile" in our society, they are frequently stigmatized as being incapable of doing anything other than cooking, laundry, and other household chores. As a result, no one believed that someone as frail as them could effect change, lead a nation, keep up with men, or even stand alongside them. Women's empowerment can be defined as promoting women's self-esteem, ability to make their own decisions, and right to influence social change for themselves and others. Advocating for women's empowerment is often misconstrued as...

How water can transform the community
The first thing we think about after reading the word "water" is probably a refreshment or something that is colorless. For many people, water is just something basic that we all have access to. Many of you may know that there are a lot of countries which don't have any kind of water supplies. For example, let's take the Republic of Uganda.
What is the difference between an XX chromosome and an XY? Nothing!
"More than 300 women were killed in 2021 in Turkey" This is the kind of news that I see everywhere: from Twitter to Instagram and other social media platforms. But is it really fair to kill women for no reason? Absolutely not! Is it worth killing young women and taking their dreams from their hands? Absolutely not! But why are we doing so? Is it because women are seen as inferior to men? But who did impose this mentality that men have more privileges than women do? Do you think about what is the role of a woman in society? Maybe to take care of her children, to cook, and to be a good housewife...
Mexico paving the way: The road to Feminist Foreign Policy
Mexico is the only Spanish-speaking country in all of Northern America. Mexico was first declared a sovereign country in the year 1810. Mexico finally gained its freedom after 300 hundred years of Spanish rule. Today when most people think of Mexico they typically think of telenovelas, food, beaches, art, and music. Yet, there is an important aspect of Mexico to discuss. Its Feminist Foreign Policy (FPP). Mexico’s Feminist Foreign Policy (FPP) was first introduced under the presidency of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who is the 65th president of Mexico. Mexico was the first Global South Country...

Among all the voices I hear how my dreams are shouting to not Lose them aside. But what can I do? I tried to fly but each time I tried I saw falling.

Speak a little louder
What does it mean to be a girl? Growing up, I never thought about what it meant to be girl. Was I naive to believe that it didn’t matter, ignorant to think that as my world expanded beyond my own community it would never stand in my way? No–– I may not have always been sure of myself, but I was sure of the fact that I had as much as a right to do whatever the guy to my left was doing. If that meant I had to speak a little louder, work a little harder, and try a little more, then so be it. Nearly eighteen years later, I now know what the world wants me to believe being a girl means–– that I am...
Child rights
I can't begin to imagine what it must be like for children forced into labor and what they have to go through. Child labor is such a hard and dangerous lifestyle that no child should have to experience. I can't imagine being out on the streets selling merchandise instead of being in school learning. Many of these kids don't have any other choice. They have to be out on the streets so they can take care of their families and provide for themselves. This must be very hard for them because I don't think any child would want to waste their childhood cleaning cars, shoes, windows or doing almost...

The Agony of Poverty
Poverty— seven letters that affect the lives of thousands of people especially in my country, the Philippines. As our car was stopped because of traffic in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, children began to flock in front of our car. They started dancing for money that the passengers would give. Some motorists would share but that does not mean that those coins are enough for living. Now, I started asking myself many things. Do they eat thrice a day? Do they study? Why do they dance and beg for money when they should be attending schools, learning to read and write? Why are they amid...
A proud black woman
I am a proud black woman Every inch, color, curve of my body is something I learned to accept Something I once questioned while looking at myself in the mirror I am a proud black woman Even though I get paid less than my white cousin And my choice in clothing is frowned upon I am a proud black woman Even though my "missing dad" is seen more as a statistic than a cry for help I am required to push through because of the color of my skin Or else I'm seen as weak I am a proud black woman Throughout the braided hair The urban dance The "cool" swag You see they want to be us until they have to be...
