Women Empowerment in Rwanda  In Sub-Saharan Africa, women dominance in the political arena and social rights is significant in Rwanda among all the other nations, which formulate my research question (Berry,2015). Why do women dominate the leadership positions in Rwanda more than any other country? Introduction of women-friendly policies set by lawmakers contribute to their many leadership positions. Following the genocide in Rwanda, women have been stepping up to occupy the leadership positions in the country and therefore upholding feminism. The conflict between Tutsi and Hutu cost the deaths of many people in the country, men being the majority. Men died, became disabled, and many of them became prisoners. The surviving population, which was about six million was primarily the female gender. The only alternative left was for women to step up and run the country (Abbott et al. 2018). The  war effects were inclusive of the rape of at least a quarter of a million women according to reports.

Role of Political Loyalties Iraq became a failed state in the years following Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003). Disagreements between the political parties was one of the reasons for the failure of the state after Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003). During the instance where members of parliament were supposed to elect a national parliament, the states three largest parties combined to form a coalition, the Iraqi Accordance Front (Gaub, 2017). The action indicated a new friendship among these parties that usually had diverse views. Consequently, United Iraqi Alliance that was led by Shi’ite and consisted of two Shi’ite political parties became more fractured. Such was as a result of the exit of prominent party members to start their own political parties before the elections. The fractures led to division of ideologies, which enhanced the opposition in the parliament. Furthermore, the ineffective leadership of the transitional Prime Minister, Ibrahim al-Ja’fari was part of the problem in the failure. The Prime Minister had been widely criticized by the Sunni Arabs, Kurds, as well as the Shi’ite leaders because of the mismanagement of government funds and…

 Rationale for the Right to Abortion Following the landmark ruling of the U.S Supreme Court that legalized abortion in 1973, the critics of the decision have been using every means to persuade the court to reverse the decision. As such, some states, including North Dakota, Mississippi, Arkansas, Ohio, Louisiana, and Kentucky, among others, have passed legislation that criminalizes abortion when conducted after a particular period. According to the World Health Organization, 25% of pregnancies end up in abortions (WHO, 2019). ICPD (International Conferences on Population and Developments) argues that every woman has the right to have the utmost reproductive health as well as the right to decide on the number, timing, and spacing of their kids without restrictions, violence or any form of coercion. Besides, the World Health Organization asserts that it is the right of women to access information relating to their reproductive health, including the means to ensure proper timing and spacing of their kids. According to WHO, abortion is one of the stated essential reproductive health rights of women WHO, 2019). Both health practitioners and WHO, among…

Evaluating Lives Living signifies the existence of life. Besides, life is the sole differentiation factor between dead and inorganic matter with a living organism. While there are many philosophical descriptions of life, Jean-Paul Aymard Sartre coins a landmark explanation of life that distinguishes him from other scholars. Sartre is a French-born scholar whose work covers a wide range of disciplines, including racism, free will, violence, and also feminism. One of the significant subjects Sartre endeavored to understand includes existence and its value. His great work revolves around the philosophized in existentialism. In his concept of existentialism, Sartre delivers a presupposition that there exists no purpose in living. Not a single one derived outside the bearer of life himself. Sartre further states that humans neither have control of how they are born nor of the surroundings in which they are brought up. However, Sartre believed that in the course of one’s life, personal desires and decisions play an immense role in forging a person’s destiny and purpose of their existence. In other words, Sartre asserts that human beings are free to…
