My Learning journey - Part 2

Building on our previous post, our second line of inquiry delved into embedded practices, dowry statistics and case studies, the timeline of women's rights, and the life and experiences of Maya Angelou, among other topics.

( Second line of inquiry: embedded practices in societies)


Next, in our third line of inquiry, we visited 2 places:  BZU and VAWC.

In Bahauddin Zakariya University ( BZU ) we met a professor who teaches sharia laws about families over there. We asked him a few questions and recorded an interview.


Secondly, in violence against women center, we met a psychologist who told us and gave a tour of the whole center. 

We had lots of fun and we learned a lot in both of the trips.

( Third line of inquiry: Advocating equal rights)

Additionally, we started a table talk series in our 1st line of inquiry and it ended till our third line of inquiry. We formulated questions and interviewed a few teachers as well as the professor in BZU.


ACTION PLAN:

  • We wanted to make a product that lasted long with people and reminded them of our exhibition, so we decided to make a box. The box contained customized tote bags, keychains, diaries, laptop bags, calendars, and candles.
  • In our order to celebrate women’s sacrifices and strengths, we distributed cupcakes and bookmarks and our action plan is inspired by that.

She even explained us a lot about domestic violence. I found it very interesting. We also got a chance to see some victims who were there to report their case. To address violence against women, a specialized center was created in 2017, in line with the 2016 Punjab Protection of Women Against Violence Act. This facility consolidates legal, judicial, medical, and psychological services, offering a holistic support system for victims.  In this center there are 4 different departments: The Police, Prosecution, Medical and Psychological.

Furthermore, It has 2 detention areas, 1 for men and the other for women. It has a link with other police st...
