I asked my students to tell me which UN Millennium Goal is most important to them. Elena supports the goal of empowering women:
"In Chinese history, there were unequal between men and woman. A man could have lots of wife who should be stayed at home just to educate children and have no status in the family and society. In modern society, although the women's status has improved a lot than before. There are also unequal things happened. just like some companies do not admit women, some people think women should stay at home to take care of their family and it is unnecessary to have their own business. so i think maybe we should change some people's mind and empower women sufficiently."

When I posted her statement on Facebook, I received 21 "like" responses and only three were from men. I thought this was very telling as to why this quest for empowerment is such an uphill battle.
