Why I want to be a Women 's Public Leadership Intern

From a very early age , I have cherished a desire to work for the betterment of others . I have been especially interested in health and protection of women 's rights . Based on researches and personal encounters , I came to realize that there are many instances when women are deprived of education , employment , and other essentialities of life Women are always subjected to social and legal issues regarding their stand in the society , such as whether women should rule the country or

not , or whether they should take on jobs that are performed usually by men

Women are often considered inferior to men ever since civilization has started . They were only expected to feed the babies , do household chores , and serve their husband or fathers at home . Most of these do not get any emotional or legal support while they are forced to lead a challenging life amidst a harsh social environment . Within any country there are issues concerning legislation problems which lack sufficient power .

I had many unforgettable experiences as an intern in the NY State Assembly and U S Congress . I was able to know more about poor women who are denied of justice employment , and other necessities . The women mostly involved in these public issues are women of color with babies . I observed that some of them are staring blankly into space , while some are talking and carrying on conversations as if an underprivileged situation is what they have been accustomed to . There are also those with the look of defeat and frustration in their eyes . From those encounters , reality hit me that there are possible ways of extending help to them , as my consciousness of the world and surroundings started to grow . I started to do more reading and research on the conditions of women . I became aware of the widening issues about women in the society

Women usually do not have a voice , not only here in America but across...
