Chicago is an amazing and beautiful city in the centre of united states, its one of the biggest world class city that is historically rich.Base on my visit to the hull house i was attracted with the historical portraits and about the way Jean aAdams was so generous to the poor people.What i have discovered about the hull house is that its not only a settlement house providing a space and opportunity for people but a site for research as well.
According to the little information i knew about the hull house , i liked the way Jean Adams was having time with her friends in the dining table that is one of the best values of an exemplary leader(collaboration).So what i really learnt from my visit in the hull house that will be of benefit to south Sudan is about what Jean said of the new generation to break the old law of how women are seen.She said in this generation women has to be seen as professional especially the educated one, she is trying to talk about Gender equity.
I think the 14 of us can be the experiment of the new generation flowing out there as professional women of south Sudan not to be seen just as women , hopefully after this masters program we have to go and share equal responsibility with men on the nations building and we are going to make use of the knowledge we have learnt to change and develop our country. So pals what are your opinion about Jean Adams idea of breaking the old law of being just a women. Don't you think after the program we can equally be professional to men?
Lucy,
ReplyDeleteI agree! Jane Addams was quite an inspiration and very brave to work towards women's equality in a time when women were not considered as good as men. Her ideas about being viewed as a professional are still very applicable today! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!
I'm glad that we have 14 ambassadors who have great experiences that will positively help in changing the old beliefs the community have towards women. I'm also eager to know some of the ways you think we shall use to bring about this change.
ReplyDeleteI think that's a good idea Lucy to really work on the changing the status quo of gender issues in South Sudan. and that needs a lot of efforts from us the educated one. but then I also wonder into how we are going to start the point of being the same professionally when many men are even undermining the 25% share given by the Government?
