A crash course in changing the world.
I guess knowlege is one of the most important key to implement gender equality.
When I started studying mechanical engineering I had only a few femal fellow sudents.
And at the beginning it was hard to acquire respect from the teachers and male students. Some just smile at me and don't took me seriously... I had to convience to the people that I really want to study mechanical engineering seriously, and show them that I'm able to learn a lot...
A few semesters later I became tutor and had the respect I worked for... I really leard from this situation, that you have to be confident and need faith in your own abilities and skills if you want the respect and equal treatment from others. My personel faith comes from my knowledge...
Therefore I think a good start to create conditions for women is to acquire knowledge.
Thats the reason why I chose the story about the technical school for woman "Barefoot College of India"
