Journey

As the semester comes to a close it's hit me how much a class like this does for students. Everyone can say that we've learned a lot about issues that we might not have heard about if we didn't take Woman's Studies. For example, Somaly Mam and the sex trafficking that is happening all over the world. They talked about in the documentary how important education was to everyone, not only to the girls who suffered from sex trafficking. I knew this was true but I don't think I fully realized it till I was telling my friend all about Somaly's book. If it wasn't for Woman's Studies, I would have never been able to spread the word about the cause. My friend wants to help out just as much as we, as a class, do. I just created another supporter who in return  could tell others. People say that the only way to make a difference is to have money. I don't see that to be true at all. The more people who know about an issue the more people, as a whole, will try to do something about. Like its been said before countless time, good or bad press, at least their is still press.
