I chose the film Girl Connected, and I really liked it because it shows how much we as women have to go through no matter where on Earth we are. March 8th is known as International Women’s Day, which is ironic considering I watched this film today. It was fascinating because these girls are fighting so hard to make such an impact in their society. What I found most interesting about How To Think Like An Activist by Wendy Syfret was all these different moments of activism and how the people fought for that change. For example, the Salt March, led by Gandhi and the people of India fighting against British colonizers. It was a form of peaceful protest, where no matter what, the law was broken, but not in a way that enacted violence. I like how both the film and reading put the mindset on being an activist, but you can be an activist in more ways than one. To fight for a change, you aren’t limited t just one option. You are open to many possibilities. Even if someone tries to stop you, there could be a thousand others who have your back, but from the sidelines. That’s what I liked about Girl Connected, because even those they were in different parts of the world, they were each fighting for one thing women get consistently bashed about. Child marriages, teen pregnancy, education, creativity, and self-defense with a disability. This shows that the possibilities are endless if we know what we are going after and how.
