Interview

Interview:

Me: Being from another country do you feel women's rights in your country are similar to those in the United States.

Jacoba Bulah: In my country we are much more liberal and women are called on as much as men. We are expected to get things done for ourselves as I always have.

Me: Do you think that even today their are still prejudices on whether or not women have the same potential as men?

Jacoba Bulah: Definitely, I witness it all the time in our society. Women are not expected to do the dirty work, it is thought of as a man's job.

Me:  If you could change how are society looks at women what would you change?

Jacoba Bulah: I would alter the eyes of society, just because our build doesn't mean we are weak. Just because of the way we look or sometimes act doesn't mean we are incapable of achieving what men do.

Me: Have you ever been discriminated against because your a women?

Jacoba Bulah: I think everyday we are being looked at differently because of our gender, it is sad that we are thought of as the emotional character.

Me: What do you see happening in the future regarding women's equality?

Jacoba Bulah: Hopefully someday we can all be seen equally, we should be credited for our abilities.

Reflection:

What I learned is that even in the most liberal places women's equality with men is still questioned. Even though are society has come to accept women many things in it still suggestively imply men are more capable of doing things compared to women. Although we now have most of the same rights as men it is important we keep pushing and remember that is has not also been this way. We have fought as women from the beginning and will keep pushing until our ends.
