Gender Articles.....

Article 1:
-Useful local statistics: women make up 44% of local workforce, but only 7.3% of board members in these companies are female in 2011.
-Note how our lack of manpower and talent means that we cannot afford to discriminate against the women.....
-companies whose boardroom has women tend to perform better? Why? (try recalling Hana Rosin's reasons in the compre we did)
-note the reasons given that constitute the 'barrier', i.e. glass ceiling


Article 2:
The example of Malala again...
-note how she can be used as an example to show BOTH women oppression and emancipation (rebuttal). She is a living example reflecting the plight of women in developing countries like Pakistan where girls are denied access to education, hence their consequent subjugation in society. But she is also living proof of women fighting back against oppression for their rights, hence providing hope for women emancipation. The role of the media is crucial here in her battle against the Taleban and in inspiring other women to turn against their oppressive culture.

Sample Qn:
1) 'Men rather than women face greater challenges.' Is this true today?
2) Women have it easier than men in today's society. Do you agree?
3) The world of the future will be a woman's world. Do you agree?
