Hello my fellow readers, it's Gabby guys and I'm back with a new blog post. A lot of things have happened since the last time I have posted on my blog. As you know I am reading the book Half the Sky and a lot has been happening since then. The book that I am reading is about the way women are treated around the world. The last time that I have written my blog, they were talking about prostitutes and sex trafficking. Recently I have been reading about women's rights and how many have died from childbirth. I never knew that so many women every day die from lack of healthcare during childbirth. I thought that when women gave birth all over the world, they were all treated well because they are giving birth to a new light of life. But if you do not have the money to give birth, you will not get the proper care needed to have a safe birth. Many women die from improper care during childbirth and can get a terrible infection if they are not closed properly. This is a weird subject because it can make people feel uncomfortable talking about things like that. When I first read about this, I started not to feel well because it is something that I never knew could be possible. I personally don’t like talking about childbirth because it grosses me out and make me feel queasy. I do feel bad for the women that have to go through that and especially the ones that can't afford to have a safe childbirth. When this happens, it puts the mother and child at risk but for some people it is a risk they have to take. They were talking about in the book that some people do have the money that would be able to protect the mother and child, but since some believe that women are not worth wasting money on they would just pray that all goes well. That is the point of the book, for the readers to understand what is happening around the world and how they feel about women. Some countries see women as just a sex piece and do not think of them as humans. This has negative effects on women because they will be killed by their own families if they found out they were raped. The way that these women are being treated is extremely inhumane but that’s how some cultures are. Sometimes you cannot change how people think, you can help to prevent the bad things that are happening to women. There are a lot of organizations are the world, especially in the United States, that are trying to prevent the spread of sex trafficking and STD's in less developed countries. These organizations are having a positive effect on their community but sometimes you can’t change the way people have lived for many years. Hopefully this abuse towards women ends, but culture and religion can't be changed as much as you try. See you next week!
