    Analysis Of Indigenous Women's Rights By Rauna Kuokkanen

    The author of “Self-Determination and Indigenous Women’s Rights at the Intersection of International Human Rights”, Rauna Kuokkanen works as an associate professor at the department of Political Science and Aboriginal Studies program at the University of Toronto. She is well known for many of her works on Aboriginal Studies. In this journal, Kuokkanen makes an attempt to explain the relationship between Indigenous self-determination and Indigenous women’s rights under the principle of the international human rights framework. In spite of the “growing studies on indigenous peoples and self-determination, there is a striking absence of research into the gendered process and effects of indigenous self-determination or in other words, indigenous women and self-determination”…

    Role of Women in Hinduism

    The purpose of the research paper is to examine the role of women in Hinduism and how it impact their lives .This paper will look at how narratives from sacred texts influences women’s role in society in the past and in the present. The role of women in Hinduism is often disputed, and positions range from equal status with men to restrictive. Hinduism is based on numerous texts, some of which date back to 2000 BCE or earlier. They are varied in authority, authenticity, content and theme, with the most authoritative being the Vedas. The position of women in Hinduism is widely dependent on the specific text and the context. Positive references are made to the ideal woman in texts such as the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, while some texts such as the Manu Smriti advocate a restriction of women's rights. In modern times, the Hindu wife has traditionally been regarded as someone who must at all costs remain chaste or pure. This is in contrast with the very different traditions that have prevailed at earlier times in Hindu kingdoms, which included highly respected professional courtesans such as Amrapali of Vesali, sacred Devadasis, mathematicians and female magicians the Basavis, the tantric kulikas. Mahabharata and Manu Smriti asserts that gods are delighted only when women are worshiped or honoured, otherwise all spiritual actions become futile, as evidenced by the narrative from the Mahabharata “Deities of prosperity are women. The persons that desire prosperity should honour them. By cherishing women, one cherishes the goddess of prosperity herself, and by afflicting her, one is said to afflict the goddess of prosperity” (Mahabharata,).…

    A Vindication Of The Rights Of Woman Analysis

    In A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, Mary Wollstonecraft argues that women need to have strength both mentally and physically. Wollstonecraft says, “I wish to persuade women to endeavour to acquire strength, both of mind and body, and to convince them that the soft phrases, susceptibility of heart, delicacy of sentiment, and refinement of taste, are almost synonymous with epithets of weakness” (pg. 593, paragraph 2). This shows that Wollstonecraft wanted women to strengthen their minds and bodies, to stop being so content with the way things were, and to realize that they deserve more.…
