Question: 2: What are the key activities you do for your community and society? What is your professional background?
Answer: Being a people’s representative and a conscious social being, I engage myself with all kinds of activities for the betterment of the society. I also deliver all kinds of duties which are duly assigned to me as a headman of my locality which is known as Mauza. I am a headman and also a chief of the Mauza. Previously, I had been served for three terms as an elected UP member in the reserve woman’s seat of the Babusora Union Parishan. Therefore, I got the opportunity to work in close with the people at the union parishad level for a period of fifteen years. In this reason, I am well aware of the conditions of women at the grass root level as well as the situation of the society. I had worked vigilantly for establishing the status of women living in the rural areas of my locality. At some point my activities flourished from my local Babusora Union and I started to work at the Upazilla level which increased the number of beneficiaries from my activities. Therefore, general people demanded that I should compete in the election for the position of the Female Vice-chairman at the Upazila level in 2014 to engage myself more effectively with the community development activities. I realized their demands and decided to contest in the Vice-chairman election. One powerful political force felt jealousy to me for my popularity and wide acceptance in the locality. They started working against me. They threatened me to not to contest in the Vice-chairman election. They even forced me to withdraw my nomination paper from the chairman election. However, local people stood beside me and they defended me to fight against their ...

...al opportunity they can perform their duties efficeintly according to their capablities. They can work not only as Karbari or Headman but also can work as Circle Chief. As for example in the history of Chakma Circle once a queen from a Chakma royal family named ’Kalindi Rani Chakma’ had been worked as a ’Circle Chief’ for long period of time.

These women are now actively participated in the various social judicial proceedings which is considered as new dimension in the traditional social structure in CHT. Socially concsious female’s participation at the traditional arbitration process is no doubt enhance the opporuntiy for the hill women to seek justice.
In the article, “The role of custom and traditional leaders under the Yap constitution”, Brian Tamaha explains the various traditions as well as the Yap legal system. The constitution of Yap consists of a common legislature—executive and judiciary—with a fourth branch dedicated solely for traditional leaders. Traditions and customs create rules and the methods they are abided by. According to Hart, every legal system has a set of rules directing people on how to live. Amidst foreign pressure Yap’s culture has proved resilient (BRIAN, 1988). This essay will attempt to contrast and compare the Yapese legal structure to Hart’s theory of a legal system; it will answer questions concerning the rule of recognition and how the Yapese survive within extreme inequality and injustice, but rise above it through use of their traditions and culture.
What specifically do your field agency staff do that advancess human rights and social, economic, and environmental justice? A few things that my agency does to advance human rights, and social, economic, and environmental justice is that they advocate for the opportunity for education for all children, especially low income children.

...suade adults who smoke to stop. When I see an adult smoking sometimes I will ask them if they know all the risk then give them some facts about the danger. In this effort I serve the community by making an effort to keep the people in it healthier. Lastly, I show service to my school through the help I provided while in the National Junior Honor Society. As a member in NJHS I helped our middle school begin a recycling program; I helped get the recycling boxes and bins ready, gather paper from around the school, and sort the paper after school. Through this I show a dedication to my school and community, because not only does recycling help the school reduce waste but it also allows the environments resources to last longer. For these reasons I would be an excellent, determined, helpful member, who is more than willing to provide service to my school and community.
I am dedicated to helping out our community and school, because it warms my heart and soul. Seneca said in about 40 to 60 A.D. that you should “be silent as to services you have rendered, but speak of favors you have received.” In other words you should not boast about the numerous projects you have accomplished and how much physical work you executed, but rather pride yourself on how you helped people in community and school, and how you have affected their lives with positive means. I feel life is joyous and it should be the feeling everyone illustrates, and this is exactly what keeps me functioning in the stressful world today. I find comfort in helping others to make their lives a little more like heaven and this comfort motivates me to perform copious service projects to the best of my capability whenever I find the time. Time is fair to the rich, the poor, and to every race, because time is equal and gives everyone 24 hours daily to accomplish their required tasks. Because time is so valuable and I am occupied by difficult advanced placement and honor classes and juggle school, clubs, sports, and friends, I joined Key Club, a high school division of the adult service club, Kiwanis. Key Club opened new doors to make every extra minute count towards helping others.
Racism and sexism are realities in India as much as they are in the rest of the world. However, instead of ousting Bharti for his sexist, racist, anarchist, and indeed criminal behavior, he has defended him on an unprecedented scale. Whether on account of the wounded pride of his minister or the ensuing puncture to his own ego, Arvind Kejriwal is bringing the capital to a standstill. Not only is he refusing to acknowledge the criminal conduct of his minister, he is calling for the suspension of the policemen who refused to raid and arrest women without a warrant, on account of their having defied a member of his cabinet in following the law.

Through NJHS and NHS, I have accumulated nearly 170 hours of community service. While working about every other weekend with my peers, I have learned how to be part of a successful team plus how to exercise patience and how deeply community service touches the hearts of those in our neighborhoods. Throughout the summers, I worked for over 180 hours as a volunteer IT assistant and gardener for various churches. During my time in a 15 person team while being the youngest and only female of the group, I regularly interacted with co-workers of different backgrounds and ages, learning to succinctly communicate with the world around us and how to embrace cultures aside from my own. Through the various clubs at Centennial, I have been able to encourage my fellow peers to honor those around us by using our abilities in music, writing, and language arts. I am passionate about using our talents to benefit others and am looking forward to spreading my mentality in
In these communities oldest woman is the head of family. Although there are Kalpana Chawla, Kiran Bedi, Indira Gandhi, Sarojini Naidu who have already proved themselves at par with men, but major part is still struggling for equal rights.

I have been involved in the American Cancer Society for five years. My team, Team Hoot has raised funds for cancer as well as participating in Relay for Life each year. This year, I will be on the board committee at Relay; giving back to the survivors. This organization is one that I always promote and give back to.

This year we are planning to donate materials for our troops as well as materials for individuals in disaster situations. Giving back to the community is very important to me. Being passionate about making a difference is a drive that I always
Women in Bangladesh are finding themselves in an inferior position with respect to men. Because women have very limited access to resources in the country and they are socially, culturally, and economically dependent on men throughout their whole lives. Fikree and Pasha’s study (as cited in Balatchandirane, 2007). Dependency is the life cycle of women in our society. Our society is the main villain which creates this discrepancy. Boys are given the utmost royalty while girls are considered as burden of the family. From birth, this discrimination starts and it continues until the end of one’s life. Various aspects of gender discrimination further discussed in the next section.
In the present play Vijay Tendulkar chooses a term of judicial register as the title of his play to make a powerful comment on a society with a heavy patriarchal bias that makes justice impossible and that converts the august judicial system into an instrument of oppression of women and the vulnerable. Ideally justice can be provided only if the judge and the judicial system are objectively detached. But the same objective detachment can become the face of a very repressive and dehumanized system if the persons involved in the process of justice are themselves devoid of human value and compassion.
