Sustainable Development Goals that relate directly to girls education

Discuss about the International Womens Health for Discrimination Against Women.

Sustainable development goals are used to add up equality especially for girls’ education. Girls are not discriminated in fact they are offered right to be educated. It is true that education for women is considered as a passport to enter in the working force. It helps with to gain the power of voice. Sustainable development policy in New Zealand supports girl’s education. Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) is a gender equality policy that guarantees gender equality and empowers right to all women (Abel,  Barakat,  Samir & Lutz, 2016). The women in New Zealand were not given equal rights thus a policy is designed to provide right to education. The discrimination between girls and women is resolved so that no violence exists (Vladimirova & Le Blanc, 2015). This goal is directly related to education of girl child as it suggests that every girl should have the right to get educating grow ahead in their carer.

Apart from that various goals are undertaken to remove poverty and violence against all the girls and women. Various programs are launched to ensure health safety for the entire girl. They also enhance new technologies that help in promoting empowerment for women. The gender equality is main concern and the empowerment of all women at all levels is taken into consideration. The other goals that were implemented to end poverty from everywhere ensure that healthy lives are promoted among the well beings (Stenberg, et. al, 2017). The sustainable goals are necessary to promote economic growth of the country. These policies make sure that women are not underrepresented and they are treated equally.

Various implications are done regarding different terminologies to assure that all the cultural practices are maintained in a community.

• Female Genital Cutting-It is a procedure that removes external genitalia of females and all the injuries that are faced by women’s due to some non-medical reasons (Efferson,  Vogt,  Elhadi,  Ahmed & Fehr, 2015). This law is restricted in many countries but sill there are some reason due to which female genital cutting is supported. FGC is not beneficial but it is only done for traditional circumstances like attending rituals or child births.
• Female Genital Mutilation- It is mostly carried in young girls between the infancy and age group of 15 years. This is considered as a violation of the human rights related to women. FGM can be of many types that can be partial or total removal of female genitals (Connor, et. al, 2016).
• Female Circumcision need to be stopped as it also causes physical damage. It might also lead to cause psychological trauma as there are no health benefits. 

Different cultural practices are maintained in a community to ensure that there is no diverse culture in the environment.  The cultural practices help in gaining operational effectiveness. It brings out all the different behaviour, attitude and policy at the workplace so that cross-cultural settings are used to provide better outcomes. Distinctive social practices are kept up in a network to guarantee that there is no differing society in the earth. The social practices help in increasing operational viability (Connor, et. al, 2016). It draws out all the distinctive strategy at the working environment with the goal that culturally diverse settings are utilized to give better results.  It is possible of shifting cultural practices to remove diversity at workplace and in communities. Cultural practices help in increasing the mutual understanding and increases trust by overcoming all the fear, mistakes and conflicts.

Cutting of female genitalia

The idea of structural violence was introduced in the research of violence, peace and peace research. It is a form of violence in which some social institutions and social structure are harmed by an individual by not allowing them to fulfil basic needs. It is somewhere the main reason behind premature deaths as it affects an individual in various ways. They are caused due to political or economic issues that cause injury to people (Berg,  Underland, Odgaard, Fretheim & Vist, 2014).  This kind of violence is hidden behind the walls of society and it is not visible. Structural violence is type of violence that is difficult to identify by the individuals but the structure and circumstances that impacts the potential of a person. Structure violence is mostly faced by people who have low standard of living that is the people below poverty line.

There are some social interventions that could be effective in preventing or treating diseases such as HIV/AIDS or other infectious diseases. According to the research it can be stated there are various drugs that are available to remove the infectious disease and there are therapies that can improve the quality of life thus these disease have various precautions that need to be undertaken to avoid the chances of sever disorders or dramatic disease (Gerlach, Browne, Sinha & Elliott, 2017).  It is also suggested that it can be prevented by using antiretroviral drugs, microbicides for sexually transmitted disease, pre and post exposure prophylaxis. The needles and injecting equipment’s should not be shared between individuals (Keys & Kaiser, 2017). The risky behaviours should be avoided to prevent the transmission of all the infectious disease.

From of the context of why did Mrs. X die it can be stated that physicians were not aware about the diagnosis. But from the research it can be state that they died due to shock and some severe bleeding as well as some intravenous fluid in the body. This happened at time of her pregnancy as she has low fertility and poor economic growth. Similarly from Outrage to Courage t is indicated that a woman takes action for the injustice done to her. It depicts a lesson that women are a strong power and can be dangerous to one’s health (Smith, Armour & Betts, 2014). There are various situations where women’s are treated as unwanted and are left unwanted. Two

Reproductive health strategies are developed in New Zealand to have a positive environment. The government of New Zealand focuses on two key areas that are designing prevention plans for all the increasing sexually transmitting infections. Other main concern that is increasing in New Zealand is high level of unwanted pregnancies (Roke, Roberts & Whitehead, 2016). Thus for reproductive health all the targeted testing’s balanced to all the impact of false positive results. The objective of reproductive health strategy of New Zealand is focused on reduce smoking ,improving nutrition, reducing obesity, increasing the level of physical activity, reducing the rate of suicides attempts, reducing harmful effects caused by alcohol and other drugs, reduce the impact of cancer and other  cardiovascular disease and  reducing violence in personal relationships, families and communities. Reproductive wellbeing procedures are created in New Zealand to have a positive situation (DeVerteuil, 2015). The administration of New Zealand centres around two key territories that are planning avoidance gets ready for all the expanding sexually transmitting diseases. Other principle worry that is expanding in New Zealand is abnormal state of undesirable pregnancies.

Structural violence

It is true that violence is a natural part of human beings, not all the humans are aggressive but mostly there are cases where they face violence. Violence is mostly carried against women as they are discriminated in the society and are not treated equally. Various law and legal protections are generated to protect an individual among the violence. From the research it can be stated that violence is involved as an aggression among humans.

From the research of anthropological tendency it is said that humans have the potential to be violent, it is their natural behaviour that causes indiscipline. Humans are short tempered these days and sometime due to ego they take wrong step which violets the laws of violence. Women’s are major victims who face violence in case of discrimination, marriage or sexual harassments. Thus it is seen common among humans that take part in violence activities. Aggression is not a single trait it is a behavioural system (Gold, 2017). It is a natural part of human begins as it is kind of emotions. Some people are strong enough that they control their aggression over other energy and some or not. The aggression of some people leads to violence and it is helpful as it eliminates the negative energy from their soul. Some people have a soft corner and control there emotions but not being violent but in most of the case aggression take over the emotions. The violence turns into conflicts and can harm humans. It is an inevitable procedure where so many individuals are involved with different desires. While interacting with them it is possibility all have different point of view this this leads to complexity in nature which future leads to conflicts (Coyne, Callister, Gentile & Howard, 2016).

From the research it can be clearly stated that violence is increasing day by day among women’s. The reason due to which violence is increasing among women’s is due to discrimination, inequality and lack of gender opportunities. There are many ways in which violence is faced by women’s that can be in terms of physical abuse or sexual harassment or in terms of trafficking (García-et. al ,2015). The violence against women led to physical and emotional effects. Violence against women is always more in past years due to unequal power that is given between women and men (Michau, Horn,  Bank, Dutt & Zimmerman, 2015). The form of violence that is faced by women is sexual harassment, abortion, forced marriages and stopping them to grow and take part in carer activities. Thus it can be stated that violence against any individual or women’s can be seen as violation of human rights and discriminating them in the society (Chi, Bulage, Urdal & Sundby, 2015). It likely impacts the physical, sexual, psychological or economic life of the women. The violence in life of women can be seen as a threat such as lack of liberty in their public and private life.

Reproductive health

Women’s not only face the sexual violence but they are prone to domestic violence too. They are also prone to dowry and forced marriage harassments. They are not given rights to take their own decision which is treated as a restriction on their freedom. They are not provided the right to live the way they want to and the way men’s live their life. The violence against ladies also impacts the physical life (Chi, Bulage, Urdal & Sundby, 2015). Violence against ladies is constantly more in past years because of unequal power that is given amongst ladies and men. It can be prevented by generating laws and strict penalties.

The global economy is important part for every country and I am participating in it by increasing the interdependencies and interconnections so that economics and society crises are maintained (Holland, 2018). The role of taking part in global economy leads to remove the conflicts and fragmentation. Thus new opportunities and networks are created for women’s so that cross- cultural environment and inequalities are removed.

Globalization have impacted New Zealand in many ways as it has created new opportunities of women’s to remove the inequality and have promoted the rights of women in the society.   Globalization in New Zealand has removed the negative effects that are faced by women sand have uprooted the power of women (Arvis, et. al, 2016). It is a positive approach that has changed the economic and cultural migration facilities by offering equal benefits to women.

Globalization has impacted women in positive way as there are various associations that provide advancement to women’s so that even they can live the life men’s do. They have opened a broad communication links for women’s by offering them equality a place of work and in domestic culture. They have increasing the employment ratio by giving more opportunities.

Globalization has also lead to have negative impact on life of women. It is that the finite resources are used more quickly and equal rights are given. As women’s are given higher rights they are using it in wrong way by letting man get indulged in wrong activities. The wrong case of dowry is been assigned to women (Verhoeven, 2017). The laws and regulations are also in favour of women’s so that it can be also be used in making wrong decisions.

Pros of legalizing sex work- The sex work is treated as legalised as they have the free choice and also increases acceptable morality. It somewhere lowers unemployment and increase the business and taxation (Verhoeven, 2017). It is treated as legal in countries as it reduces the overall crime rate of the country and even reduces the rapes and human sex trafficking . The other advantage that can be stated is it reduces the risk of disease getting transmitted.

Violence is a natural part of being human

Cons of legalizing sex work- It should not be legal as it degrades the environment of the country. The stability of a person is distributed and it also exploits the respect and dignity of a women (Petersen, 2015). Some people do this due to financial or personal crises that is treated

Sex trafficking is so widespread these days as people are forced to take part in commercial sex activities. Sex trafficking is seen in vulnerable people who are prone to violence, abuse, threats, lies or poor control and manipulation of work. Sex trafficking occurs all over the globe and have rescued the traffic victims.

The major influences of sex trafficking around the world are due to lack of education as people are not aware about right and wrong. Apart from that ratio of unemployment is more thus they take part in such activities to earn money (Hareven, 2018). Additionally sex trafficking is widespread due to increasing corruption as there are big parties and celebrities who are indulged in such activities. Plus there are no strict rules and regulations that are designed against sex trafficking.

The ratio of women over the age of 65 is increasing day by day over the globe. It is true that due to changes of demographic concerns life of women’s are effected. Demographic compositing affects the fertility, marital status as well as education. Demographic changes impact the labour force of women as the rates at which women’s participate in such activities decreases. With the demographic changes the life of women’s are also effected due to change in marriage status. They life of women is also affected in terms of education; female population contributes less in the education composition (Hill & Hurtado, 2017). As they have relative higher responsibility in home related work. Demographic changes affect female education and also the mobility in life of women’s is impacted. They are not allowed actively to take part in decision making in the household and labour force. The health care behaviour is also affected due to poor marriage and kinship system. Fromm the research it can be stated that demographic change is linked strongly with the women status. It is directly reflecting the fertility and mortality rate of women (Mcnay, 2017). N short it can be stated that role and position of women’s are affected with the demographic changes. Domestic roles include bearing all the dependences such as the elderly population occupy larger portions of the population which results in decline of mortality rate. With the increasing age women’s are asked to take care more in non-domestic role that is taking care of family and supporting children’s. Thus it led to change of their entire lifestyle.

Girl’s education can be considered as a lifeline of development in a country. The empowerment for women is one of the most important, as it makes women’s aware about their rights and remove discrimination from the society. Educating women can be treated as a way of giving them powers by enabling them to take their decisions and make choice. Thus government organisations have taken a step to promote girls education as it improves the overall economic development and prosperity. Economic empowerment has also helped women’s to home forward in the society (Richter, 2015). Educating a girl child has improved the lifestyle and their health. If things change the inequality and discrimination from the society will be removed as they will get equal rights as men’s. It can be treated that educating a women is a powerful weapon as they are not a burden on their family and can be independent by taking a step ahead in professional life (Unterhalter, et. al, 2014).  To promote girls education free schools are opened so that women’s can achieve things according to their desire.  In short it can be stated that girls’ education is beneficial as it can be seen as a development in the country, plenty and prosperity of a women is also improved, rights of empowerment, they make aware about their rights and also removes discrimination from the society (Iaspaper, 2016).  Thus to implement girls education  it Is recommended that equal rights are provided along with that development in done in both domestic and physiology way. It can be concluded that education of girls is important for every country so that they can achieve all the goals they wish to.

Conclusion

It can be stated from the answer of these questions, the issues faced by women’s are discussed along with the rights of women’s are discussed. The society is designed in such a way that women’s struggle at every stage of life some of the circumstances are listed above.
