Gender Equality & The Elements Of Hip-Hop
September 26, 2022
Hello, My name is K.W and for the past two weeks, I have been learning about Protest, Promotion, and PSAs as it relates to women's rights. I was assigned the task of creating my own public service announcement using 2 out of the five elements of hip-hop. The five elements of hip hop are, emceeing, deejaying, breaking, graff, and beatboxing. The two I chose were graffiti and emceeing, which can also be referred to as visual arts and vocalizing.
Target 5.1: End all forms of discrimination against all women and girls everywhere. Discrimination against women has been going on for centuries, and it is very unfortunate women still have to go through this in modern times. The Girl with the louding voice demonstrates SDG 5 gender equality because the main character Adunni wants to have an educational experience. Still, her voice is not being heard as a woman. The Girl with the louding voice connects with target 5.1 which states “End all forms of discrimination against all women and girls everywhere.” In Adunni’s village, they see women differently and they are prejudiced, thinking of women as servants to men. This is something that is very common and happens worldwide; it is very sickening and needs to stop.
Target 5:A- Undertake reforms to give women equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to ownership and control over land and other forms of property, financial services, inheritance, and natural resources, in accordance with national laws. This relates to my book Cant Stop Wont Stop because women in gangs did not get the same recognition as men. On page 12 when the gangs came together for a peace meeting the women were left out even tho they played a significant role in coming together for peace. Page 12 (Chang and Cook) “But the girl gang members who had played a crucial role in bringing the gangs to the peace table were not even represented, while the media and the social workers were.”
