People with No Rights

Female Rights

Long ago, women were considered as weak and feeble so the men would always think of women as not capable of doing “hard” work. To this day, the female gender doesn’t have all of the rights men have.
History has shown us that women were treated unfairly. In the old days, women were forced to give up their property and belongings in marriage. They weren’t expected to have an education or vote, but were expected to sew and make clothes and provide food. Even today, in the Middle East, some Muslims believe that women shouldn’t go to school and learn. In some poor countries, some families have no money so they are forced to sell their daughters to become sex slaves.
Sex slavery has been the only alternative for some families in poor countries. They are forced to sell their daughters to other people in return for money. There are so many of these families that the UN estimates that there are about 12.3 million people currently in slavery. Some of these are sex slaves while others are for workers. However, the point is, sex slavery should be banned. The reason there are sex slaves is actually because the male gender believes that the female gender is recessive and that males are dominant so they get to have everything they want. However, sex slaves are humans so aren’t they supposed to have human rights. Also not only are they forced to do inappropriate stuff and be endure severe trauma, they also live in horrendous conditions.
