Feminism女权主义演讲稿.docVIP

Feminism袁Good morning, everyone. Its my honor to stand here to give a presentation to you all. As you know, recently, Hillary Clinton has just announced that she would campaign for 2016 president of America. So that we find out the status of women in politics increased significantly. So there comes a new conception, feminism. And today, our group will introduce you this, maybe to you, strange topic.So our presentation has 3 parts, and Im in charge of the first.Perhaps you would ask, why we talk about feminism? Whats the importance of that? I want to tell you a story. In 2012, December 16th,a college girl named Joyti Singh from new Delhi, the capital of India, went in a personal bus at 9 oclock, after watching a movie, with a male friend. Just in this horrible bus , unfortunately, she was raped by 6 men and they even tortured her. Then she died soon in a hospital. After she died, however, one of criminal said like that, you cant clap with one hand. It takes two hands to clap. A decent girl wont roam around at 9 oclock at night. A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy. This girl was only 23 years old. This event set off a huge protest. People prayed for her and fight for the justice and womans right. Joyti Singh was then called Indias daughter. We cant help thinking, why could such a thing happen in this civilized world? Whats exactly the meaning of a woman?Moreover, a more inhuman act still exist in some parts of Africa, which is female circumcision. This brutal act brings a lot of hurt to young women. Thats why we talk about feminism. So whats the feminism? Please have my partner continue. Thank you.王Now, as you see, this symbol represents feminism. It is based on Venus symbol. A Venus symbol is just like this. And there is a fist in the central, which means womans right.So how does feminism develop in history? Firstly, lets look at western feminism. In the history ofhuman society,the concept ofhuman rightshas been200 years of history, but itdoes not includethe feminist. We all know that there is quite a lot empresses in western history. So maybe status of women in the west is higher. In 1971, a great woman, Olympe de Gouges who wrote the declaration of rights of woman appealed for feminism initialy. And then, there came more feminist literatures. As known, Jane Austin and Bronte sisters. They are female writers and wrote books about women mainly. Jane Austin wrote Pride and prejudice. Jane Eyre, Gone with wind and Wuthering Heights by brontes.Until 19,20 century, women started the feminist movement and to fight for political rights. Many countries won the rights of vote for women. And now, we are all familiar with the iron lady, Margaret Thatcher and Hillary Clinton.While back in China, feminism has a tougher development. This is our ancient women and what they believed in. Maybe ridiculous for now, right? We did have some powerful women, like 吕后，武则天，慈禧. But they were not accepted by the traditional views of society. After 1912, as society developed, feminism improved a lot, too. Women started to aquire education and advanced ideas. So we know such a lot progressive females, such as Song sisters, Qiujin and so on. And then, how is feminism like today? Id love to let my another partner to introduce. Thank you all. 贾Thank my partners for paving the way for me. From their presentation, you may get a general idea about feminism. However, you may ask, we are living in this relatively stable community, we girls dont really worry about go out at night or horrible bodily harm. And historic great women have strived for lots of rights. Maybe we are satisfied. We dont need feminism at all. But does not female discrimination really exist in China?Actually, our fights for women are not enough yet. Since ancient times, women are not allowed to take part in politics. Even now, men has an absolute advantage in politics. Furthermore, womans career is harder than mens all the time. Whats more, the social status of woman is always below that of man. In our culture, while a high-educated woman is under the pressure of public opinion.Why do people have a total different attitude towards a man and a woman who are in the same situation. We always pay attention to leftover women but never say leftover men. Similarly, social perspective to a woman who has a successful career is more in her personal life, maybe her unsuccessful marriage, instead of her work. Are women only able to help the husband and take care of children at home? I think it is right that women should get as same respect as men. But sadly I can say that there is no one country in the world where all women can expect to receive these rights. Do you guys know her? This is Emma Watson. Perhaps you dont. But you must know this. And now, she is a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador. And she launched a campaign called “HeForShe” in 2014, which is a wide feminism movement. She points out that the definition of feminism is: “The belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. It is the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes.” In my opinion, the biggest obstacle of Chinese feminism is women ourselves. We girls are supposed to clearly recognize the importance of struggle for feminism and really do something for it. Also, boysI would like to take this opportunity to invite your join. Gender equality is your issue too. We want to try and encourage as many men and boys as possible to be advocates for gender equality. I suppose you guys, boys or girls, would believe the equality and fre
