The main focus in this section of the chapter was feminists movements. I went to an all girls high school and it helped me to learn that "anything that a man can do, a girl can do as well." Women in today's society are trying to come up and make everyone realize that we are capable of helping a community grow. Just because we physically can't do as much as men, we are still capable of making a change in this world! One thing that really caught my attention when I was reading was one of the side notes that I came across, which was women who have lost their children. It is always sad when a parent has to go to a burial service for their children, knowing that it should be the other way around. The side not had mentioned that some of the reasons that they have lost their children was mainly because of illegal adoption, criminal gangs, and child prostitution. It had mentioned the group that was formed due to the many women that have to deal with this and wanted to inform other people of what is going on, the group is called "mother's of the disappeared." These women have become a great big community and don't want other mother's to go through what they have to go through, which is losing their children at a very young age. Mother's are very over protective of their children and they want the best for their children. I know that my mother would get mad at me sometimes for doing something she didn't agree with, but in the end all she wants me to do is accomplish something in life and whatever I choose to do she is ALWAYS right by my side. My mother once told me, "once your a mother, you'll understand how you treat your children like a prey and you won't let anyone do anything wrong to them." The main area that this group has helped out, is in Latin America. Right now they meet every week and they pressure the issue to their government to find their lost children. It is very difficult for them to do anything more than go to the government and demand that they are heard!
