Who have made significant contributions to the rights of women? - Presentation

Throughout history, women have strived for equality and the right to be seen as equals to men. This educational presentation focuses on the discrimination faced by women and highlights individuals who have made significant contributions to the advancement of women's rights. Students are encouraged to explore the lives and impacts of two notable figures: Emmeline Pankhurst and Malala Yousafzai. Emmeline Pankhurst, born in July 1858, was a pioneering figure in the women's suffrage movement. As a founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), she fought tirelessly for the right of women to vote, enduring imprisonment and hardship. Her efforts contributed to the eventual enfranchisement of women over 30 in 1918. The presentation guides students to learn more about her through a multimedia approach and compile a list of ten interesting facts about her life and activism.

Malala Yousafzai is presented as another influential figure, a contemporary advocate for girls' education. Despite facing violent opposition, including being shot for her defiance against the ban on girls attending school in her native Pakistan, Malala's resilience and determination have made her an international symbol for the fight against the suppression of young women's education. After moving to England, she continued to write and speak out for the right to education for all girls. The presentation encourages students to watch an internet clip about Malala's life and work with a partner to identify ten interesting facts about her. By examining these two influential women, the presentation aims to educate students on the ongoing struggle for women's rights and inspire them to acknowledge the contributions of those who fight for equality.
