Walk Against Slavery

On Wednesday 29th of November, A group of us did a walk against slavery.  We were wearing mostly black and holding signs from Hornby High School to Westfield Mall in Riccarton and back. It took us three and a half hours! THREE!! At the end, we had sore feet and were hot even though it was an overcast. During the walk, we got a lot of honks from passing cars and thumbs up even some encouraging words from passing pedestrians. We were even able to walk through the malls with all the stares and somehow it took us a week to make 4 posters... Whoops. And only ONE looked good! There was only one mishap were a man passing in a car and pulled a finger at us... But other than that everything was good! We had a great day and returned to school with no regards but with Pride.

"Gender Equality is not a woman's issue, it is a human issue. It affects us all."

Hokay is our group name, in my group is Kashaye Une and Michelle Arama. We have chosen
Gender Inequality as our topic because it is something that I think that affects too many people in our community and we as a group want to find something to make it stop, We also needed to find some websites that gave us information on what is what and what we can do to help, one of the websites I found  was 'Foggy bottom'. her are some links that takes you to the websites.

We had to answer some questions about our topic;

Who is affected; Everyone Globally is affected by Gender Inequality.

What are the issues; Men get more of everything than woman but men are also affected by gender inequality sometimes.

When did this start; When Europeans started enslaving women.

Where is this happening; it happens more in poor countries. Families selling of their children or eldest child to get more money.

Why is this happening; This is happening because it's been put in our heads that men are better because they're stronger and are ment to be domination. 

Then we had to make an action plan to help our situation;

since it's hard for us to actually help woman affected by this we are planning on making posters and pamphlets about gender inequality and posting them around school plus putting them up around our community.
