GENDER INEQUALITY PSA (Gr7 Media Project) Music: "Human" by Christina Perri Gender inequality happens throughout the world, it refers to unequal treatment of individuals based on their gender. Gender inequality is one of the biggest inequalities throughout the world. It may have reduced by a large percentage, but that doesn't mean it's gone. Who is a man and who is woman? Are we not one, no where near equal? A woman can do just as much as a man, but not get as much as interest a man can get. The 1.4 people around the world only getting paid $1.25 or less are 70% women. We want this to stop. We want a woman to have just as much as privilege that a man has. That's the cause of this PSA, so gender inequality can stop. THE PROCESS Getting all the important facts about gender inequality, wasn't that easy. We had to research and find out the issues throughout it.We had to find out what was happening around the world, why gender inequality still happens to this day. So we put our facts together and we want to share it. Recording the videos and the voice over was no easy task. We had to stand in the cold for hours and record, but we guess it was all worth it. We want our message to be heard. So we stood along a brick wall and expressed the inequality happening around the world just in this very moment. We held up our signs with facts written on them, facts that needed to be heard and shared. Maybe us freezing out in cold might just actually helped in a way. OUR OPINIONS we give this assignment a 9 out of 10. We all liked the concept of it and all the ideas and facts we got to share. We think our idea was different. We wanted to give everyone something to reflect on, if gender inequality is right or wrong. We did all like it in the end. We got to watch ourselves try to help the world. Though it would have worked way better if the weather had cooperated with us, but we anticipate that our message will leave you thinking. - Anushai, Isha, Breanna and Brianna.
