Based on the questions I believe that activism is a starting a movement to change something. it could be a social problem, a law , injustice of any kind and so on. I had seen activism in videos and basically our whole society is where it is if it wasn’t because of someone taking the initiative to fight for change. just like one day a women decided we should all vote, we should all go to school and study the same as everyone else we should all work equal jobs with equal pays. one day someone had enough and that’s what I think its the best part about it. I was watching the film Girl Connected and it was very emotional , inspiring and sad all together. through the film we see 5 girls from 5 different countries fighting for a cause some of them with help and some alone. the all fighting against the discrimination of women, one of the girls from Bangladesh tries to fight against young girls getting married to older guys without their consent this specific topic had me emotional because no child should ever go through that kind of traumatic experience. I see another girl trying to educate and involve others on practicing safe sex and how to use protection even at a young age. another girl trying to go to college despite being told that girls don’t study engineer. after reading the text and watching this film I opened my eyes more the many injustices going on but not only that I was inspired to find ways to support it as well and I think that’s the magic of activism . these girls have more than likely inspired me to support them In this activism and that’s pretty much what it is, is to fight for a change and inspire others to join and do the same . I had shared some post and talked to others about injustices that goes on around the world and I try to educate my friends and family about it so they can help as well, although I have not marched or gather up people and go to people’s houses and tell them about this fight ill like to think that in a way I was part of an activism movement just by sharing a few post and inspire others to do the same. I’ll like to think this is my tiny portion of help. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
