: PERSPECTIVE

: WITH THE WORLD AS ITS AUDIENCE

: WHAT DO YOU SEE?

(FLASH CLOSE UP SCENCES)

: I SEE, INEQUALITY

(FLASH SCENCES OF THE WORD INEQUALITY)

: MEN, WOMEN, AND MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY FACE GENDER DISCRIMINATION EVEN IN
TODAYS GENERATION.

: IN THE FACE OF PREJUDICE VICTIMS LIVE IN HIDING AND BELITTLEMENT VICTIMS OF PREJUDICE MUST
LIVE IN SECRECY AND ARE DENIED OPPORTUNITIES AND BENEFITS WHILE CONTENDING WITH THE
CONSTRAINTS OF THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES AND LIVING AS ACCORDING THEIR PERSPECTIVE IDENTITIES.

: WHY THOUGH?

**** (CUT SCENE)**** (DRAMATIC SINK IN SFX)

: WOMEN. (*SFX)

: EVERYTIME WE MARGINALIZE WOMEN’S RIGHTS, WE LOSE THE CHANCE TO FREE MILLIONS OF MEN,
WOMEN AND CHILDREN FROM POOR CONDITIONS AND INEQUALITY AROUND THE WORLD.

: WOMEN WERE EEXPETE TO EARN SIGNIFICANTLY LESS OVER THEIR ENTIRE CAREER, DUE TO
DIFFERENCES IN CARING RESPONSIBILITIES, LOW SKILLED AND LOW PAID WORK THE QUALIFICATIONS
WOMEN ACQUIRE AND OUTRIGHT DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT.

: OVER 62 MILLION GIRLS, ARE DENIED IN EDUCATION EVERY YEAR, THIS LEAVES THEM WITHOUT
OPPORTUNITIES AND UNABLE TO SEE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.

: THE WOMENS MOVEMENT IN THIS WORLD HAS MELLOWED OUR ISSUES AND OUR CONVERSATION
HAVE BECOME ISSUES FOR MEN. DON’T YOU GET MAD WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT? BUT NO WOMAN
SHOULD SIT DOWN AND ALLOW A MAN TO SPEAK ABOUT HER RIGHTS TO GET OPPORTUNITITES. AND
BELITTLE THEM FOR THE SEX THEY WERE BORN WITH.

: HUMAN’S RIGHTS ARE WOMEN’S RIGHTS; WOMEN’S RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS.

: MEN. NEVERTHELESS, MEN DO NOT FALL TOO FAR BEHIND SINCE TOXIC MASCULINITY AND
EXPECTATIONS TO PROVIDE ARE HIGH PROPENSITIONS IN VISIONS OF WHAT DEFINES A MAN. MEN
THEN IN RETURN FEEL PRESSURE TO EXPRESS EMOTIONS AND SET A TOXIC STANDARD FOR
THEMSELVES TO FEEL ACCEPTED BY THEIR PEERS AND SOCIETY.
: THEY HAVE A PROPENCY TO BE LESS PROFESSIONAL WITH THEIR EMOTIONS AND BOTTLE IT UP UNTIL
IT FINALLY EXPLODES WITH THE PARAMOUNT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE THAT WAS BURIED DEEP INSIDE
THEM.

:MEN HAVE FEELINGS TOO

: OVER THE COURSE OF THE FIRST MILLENIA, HUMANS AS WE ARE, HAVE A HARD TIME ACCPETING
WHAT IS DIFFERENT FROM US. AND THAT BEHAVIOR DOES’NT CHANGE EVEN UP TILL TODAY’S TIME.
THIS BELIEF HAS REMAINED VIGOROUS AND AS STRONG AS IT WAS BEFORE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE
INFLUNCE OF RELIGIOUS PRINCIPLES IMBEDDED IN PEOPLES MINDS.

: MEMBERS OF LGBTQ+ COMMUNITIES ARE NO STRANGERS TO HARRASMENT AND PREJUDICE. THEY

ARE OSTRATIZED AND ABUSED TO THE POINT OF BEING OUTRIGHT OPRESSED THAT MAY LEAD TO
SERIOUS PROBLEMS AND EVEN SUICIDE.

: SCHOOL A PLACE KNOWN FOR LEARNING AND WHERE DIVERSITY IS IMPORTANT, IS ALSO ONE OF THE
PLACES WHERE STUDENTS WHO ARE APART OF LGBT COMMUNITY GETS BULLIED THE MOST. THE
BULLYING WHICH INCLUDES GETTING CALLED NASTY NAMES, PHYSICAL AND VERBAL ABUSE ETC. GETS
SO SEVERE THAT SOME STUDENTS COMMITTED SUICIDE JUST SO THAT THEY COULD END THEIR
SUFFERING.

(Reportedly, 30% of the teenager’s cause of death are related to suicide and these teenagers
are part of LGBT Community. This statistic not only shows how big of an impact coming out has
on teenagers but also proving to us that they lack support from the people around them which
will therefore, become one of the many reasons to commit suicide.)

: THINGS HAVE CHANGED LITTLE BY TIME. BUT THIS IS STILL A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM
THAT AFFECTS A LOT OF PEOPLE. GENDER INEQUALITY IS NOT A PROBLEM THAT CAN BE
SOLVED IN A DAY OR TWO, AND GETTING TO OUR FINAL GOAL OF EQUALITY IS NOT
GOING TO BE AN EASY STEP. ALL WE CAN DO IS BREAK IT DOWN INTO MANY PARTS
AND GIVE THEM TIME TO WORK OUT. WE JUST NEED TO LEARN HOW TO SHOW
RESPECT, AFTERALL, IN THE END, WE ARE ALL HUMAN TOO.
