Women Inequality | Joyce Zhang | TEDxYouth@YCYWShanghai
The speaker would like to share her personal story and raise awareness about gender inequality. She will discuss how women are treated differently from men, both in their careers and within families, linking this to her own experience of how her aunt and father were treated by her grandparents. Her father was given many more opportunities than her aunt simply because her aunt was a woman. She wonders why women should be treated differently from men. However, she believes that this will change after she delivers her speech. Joyce is currently a middle school student studying in Hong Kong, China. She is passionate about women inequality.
