Justice (Ines)

„Men and women have equal rights!” the law says. But is that true? Is there really justice between the sexes?

More than a hundred years ago, everybody knew that men and women didn’t have the same rights! Men had got the right to education, the right to study and the right to work hard and long. Women should only care about the husband, the family and the household. The female sex wasn’t recognized as a competent kind of human.

But women are strong. They fought for their intention to have the same part in the world as men. Now, look at the facts: Women never intended to have higher positions than men and to take away their jobs. But didn’t men only want women to stay at home and clean dirt? So I ask myself, where was the justice?

But luckily, this time is over. Women are allowed to study, are accepted in most jobs and even got the right to vote. However, I think that should have been case much earlier. There are still people who secretly think that men are better humans. We are all the same! If everyone accepted the idea, we wouldn’t need more justice in our world. But we do.
