                          Research Proposal: Women’s Rights on a Global Scale


    1. My multi-genre research paper topic


My topic for the multi-genre research paper is sharia law and its effects on the position of women. I was

a part of a discussion circle involving the issues of women’s rights, and after my pres-earch, I was moved

by the atrocities women are subject to under law. It amazes me that people can rationalize inequality,

and I am interested to know what condones it.


    2. What I know already


I do not know very much about this topic, outside of the ritualistic struggles of women found in history. I

know that in early Islam, women were persecuted and regarded as property of men, and in Chinese

history, young girls were required to bind their feet. This pattern of maltreatment also arose in Africa in

later times, as was presented in a few of the texts in my Fishbowl discussion group. Some children were

forced into child labor, while others were thrust into prostitution at a young age. I find it to be very

compelling that this is condoned under law.


    3. What I want to learn


There are several key factors involved this law that I want to learn more about. First, I would love to

know more about how it came to be. It is shocking to think that people that are able to rationalize
murder and torture are part of the same species as the human beings that mission in foreign territory

and lay their lives for the good of the people. I also want to learn why the United States, as a nation that

prides itself on being humanitarian, has done nothing to abolish it.


    4. The origins of my research


My interest in this topic arose from a few different areas. For example, in World History this year, we

have learned a lot about Islamic culture that I was unaware of before. For example, I was unaware of the

fact that Islam is built upon the foundation of Christianity and Judaism. This was fascinating to me

because of the stereotype put on these people after 9/11. It interested me to know what changed in

their faith and why it is so violent if it is a mere continuation of Christianity and Judaism.


    5. Questions I have about women’s rights

            1) What is the root of this issue?

            2) Why does society put up with it?

            3) What are officials doing to stop this?

            4) Are there ways for the United States to help on this issue?

            5) What consequences are dealt to women who stand up for themselves?

            6) How can a people grow in their advances of equality?

            7) Are these issues strictly religious or societal?

            8) What outside factors limit women’s rights?

            9) What kind of things do people do to abuse these people?

            10) In which countries are women being suppressed the most?

            11) What limiting laws are included, more specifically?

            12) Who wrote this law?
6. My research plan


My plan for collecting information about my topic is to start by researching the history of the law and

women’s rights in Islam. I plan to use sites such as Gale and Academic Search Complete. I want to reach

magazines from other countries where this is a growing issue and see how people are reacting to the

inequality. Additionally, I will be using symbaloo and scoop.it to organize my research in one place.
