that was two thousand forty that I travel United Nations what does New York City for a public speaking event on women's education Adam Bob and not surprisingly ninety five percent of the audience and tries to for young girls from all over the wood but around the world today nearly two thirds of the seven seventy four million people it's fifteen over what other tree comprise of whom
not only that little you're gone for a mere thirty percent in all research opportunities available spotted so what did you sing still trenchant and whites for so these dots and sticks more male status expended on a piece of paper for me until I realized that through me being a young girl trying to establish myself I was oblivious to the gender disparity around me until I observe
my vicinity the corpsman classroom we have all heard of the adage if they do so by just like we apply that your your social Darwinism you every other ecosystem even apply to be dazed well let me take you to a classroom and so that the choice eating aspiring students young boys and girls building into that text books and trying to assimilate naught junk permission that will
help them get it to where you're going to go to this is the picture of today's call yet a question that I lost my says is why is it that young goes up on did you do hit the glass ceiling when it comes to pursuing their dreams do we draw from an opportunity is a matter of choice and acknowledge that there are so good extorted reasons
I do have your logo is access to educate but we are fortunate to live in a society where more and more my opening to what's the prospect of a good sex at today my dog solely focuses on the growth student and her aunt enormous decisions in the classroom the major problem that I see around me is of young goats being shut down and overshadowed by more
aggressive going to pots these goods tend to lose confidence and cannot cope with the competitive plus so I was researching and gender and I came across this recent hall what do you study by miss Catherine Jacob Nick which highlighted why these disparities come into play in the so that was seven interaction make Addison's that was cited post status of growth as minority in the classroom gender
demographics so the studies show pieces that boys don't dominate makes discussion groups and costume and then goes on minorities this does affect their traction and participate second god have been proven to be more fun to reboot to interruption so goes Deborah speaking bus lost a few seconds as the baby boys were done to speak in doggone interrupted my nose so when a good was interrupted the
study showcased that most goats would draw from the classroom discussion for over an hour so let me know read an example from my own life so I was sitting in class one day with all my friends and we were discussing something ubiquitous like politics so the boys were discussing intricacies of political teams elections and what they think would win and then suddenly one of my female
friends decided to pitch in with her or an idea and then what happened she was sharply in abruptly cut off by one of the boys who pointed out a fallacy and who to mock and this led to my friend equally and abruptly you're dieting from this costume to third a study off mixed discussion groups so when exclusively feed me drops were studied the study showed that
the guards ordered a mortar DG and egalitarian manner of speech while in an exclusive the media discussion group boy speaking in a more contests like mono and nodding closer than it does from time to time when translated to an actual classroom Amir form of attraction tended to dominate so what I thought that hits me squarely in the face is that girls died to doubt themselves more
than boys when because some girls are doing things like you know you can do this they're more likely to believe such and and this behavior is clearly linked to the survival of the fittest and I want to emphasize that the fittest is neither god nor a boy but merely a student brave enough to address storms of the classroom and is receptive to cheat today I want
to discuss how good can be empowered in the classroom and become Bordeaux so here is my story so I decided to offer the science in economics shock in school and I thought myself in a predominantly me is all through but I've always believed that goes can shine no matter what so I decided to pursue a project that was beyond my immediate school curriculum many people told
me you know you don't need to distract us says there's no time for this what are you doing but I was dumb and I believe in the potential of my idea and I decided to post you so I would choose about Canadians score laws I witchy scientists and I would demand explanations god bless the nominal I was determined it doesn't you know would refuse to take
no for an on so sometimes I was even going bossy but I believe in the power of my project and this led to my bed she creating a device that could have detected stress anonymous god project but see if so I was very personally satisfied to be able to make up in and make an impact a dog that I found in my vicinity and my society
but not only that I was lead dog recognized in the form of an award from the honorable president of in sauce Michelle sound book iconic business woman and see or feasible as the Lenovo sees that woman should lead invoke forces I want to extend the lead in message two goals in classroom because my age right now we are still young this is developing in the haven't
reached the affects of permission but I do hope that someday we will and this is the right time to stop so my advice to girls my age is to grab the Mike seriously just grab the Mike so once in school we were to present on the global problem of nuclear technology our teacher divided us purposely two groups of three boys and three goats so we were
supposed to explain the ramifications of nuclear technology to walk loss and then they would force us questions so one of the girls in our group was doing novice to speak out she decided to refrain from onscreen but my other friend and I even thought that he agreed to take on questions one by one and that's what we did so we took our boss the by the
boys they want to answer the questions we were really happy that we stepped in confidently predict questions one by one our presentation was wonderful we received the highest grade in the class and we got that wonderful drop the Mike people the second thing that I want to emphasize is that we must take the classes we want so I know several guards around me weapon do things
like you don't need to take a signs gloss go this is not goes you don't need to pursue the spots well that's not the case my advice to all go it's my age to pursue the classes you want do what you want and do your own risks and partly and this is actually my person Gordon do you dare to dream my dream take risks and be
grateful for what you have when you receive an award don't see that you are lucky many people do that but instead see that you did create your luck and believe in your heart confidence builds on itself and it's a self fulfilling prophecy sauce Michele Steinberg sees the move in closer to the Jew goal of global equality with every woman who leans in I hope that more
goats really Nagasu I hope that more goods my age we've got you to grab opportunities and people I know that the park to true equality need the street annoyingly near we take a stab at each that but I do hope that someday we can and I do hope that we can inspire more goods lean in the classroom environments n't
