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

Within a unit centred on the discrimination faced by women, educators guide pupils through an exploration of influential figures who have significantly contributed to the rights of women. This educational journey commences with an examination of Emmeline Pankhurst, a prominent leader in the British suffragette movement. Students are tasked with watching an online video clip about her life and achievements, after which they compile a list of 10 facts detailing their newfound knowledge about her legacy and impact on women's suffrage.

The focus then shifts to Malala Yousafzai, a contemporary advocate for girls' education and the youngest Nobel Prize laureate. Pupils watch an internet clip that narrates Malala's story, encouraging them to delve deeper into her life and the courageous stance she took following an attack that aimed to silence her. After gathering information, students are asked to create a list of 10 intriguing facts about Malala's work and her ongoing influence in the fight for women's rights. Through these activities, students are expected to gain a greater understanding of the historical and current figures who have made a lasting impact on the world by championing the rights of women.
