equality?

Answer. Stereotypes, about what women can or cannot do affect women’s right to equality by forcing
the society to give them certain roles and not allow others. This is unequal treatment because the choice
of the woman is not considered and she is not free to do what she wants.

Q4 Can you describe two methods of struggle that the women’s movement used to raise issues? If you
had to organise a struggle against stereotypes, about what women can or cannot do, what method would
you employ from the ones that you have read about? Why would you choose this particular method?

Answer. Two methods of struggle that the women’s movement used to raise issues are by raising
awareness and protesting. Women’s movements raise awareness on women’s rights issues. They spread
their message through street plays, songs and public meeting. Women’s movements protest when
violations against women happen or when a law or policy works against their interest.
