For Blog 1,
After reading the powerpoint of 2019 status of women worldwide, there were a couple things that stood out to me. Mandarin Chinese making up 12.2% in the language spoken globally quite shocked me because I thought it would be English, but English only 4.6%. I thought that the primary language people would speak, not just women, when traveling worldwide would English, so that was surprising to me.
Some of the accomplishments that I most admired by women were the slide where it talked about if girls would attend an extra year of secondary school their earnings would increase by 10%-20%. I think that is pretty amazing because it shows that if women would just go for the extra push it would really pay off and they would feel very accomplished. It was also admirable to know that at least 10 women would be joining the congressional seats. That is always good to know that it is ruled by women because women would be able to have a say when it comes to making and publishing laws.
My feelings about global women's health now after reading the powerpoint is that we must address health issues, especially the ones pertaining to how 80% of the victims of human trafficking are women and when one of the causes of death for women is HIV. I think there should be more awareness raised on these issues to help prevent it even more.
