 DoD Celebrates International Women’s Day, Advances in Gender Equity and Equality


The United States Department of Defense commemorated all of its achievements in terms of gender equality in various areas of the department on International Women's Day. Dr. Kathleen H. Hicks, Deputy Secretary of Defense, explains her opinions about the efforts made for women in the profession in the article.“Our work on women, peace, and security is critical not just for U.S. national security, but equally importantly, for the safety, equality, and opportunity of women and girls around the world. We are proud to join the international community in recognizing the achievements of women around the world.” 

The department's implementation roadmap was presented last year by the Independent Review Commission on Sexual Assault in the Military (IRC). Given the assassination of Vanessa Guillén on April 22, 2020, this is critical for the Department of Defense. Vanessa had reported being a victim of sexual harassment, which the military had overlooked. Vanessa had reported being a victim of sexual harassment, which the military had overlooked. To put this into context, the military and the Department of Defense (DoD) simply did not listen to the complaints about sexual harassment until it was too late, and only because they had a large number of people on social media complaining about the lack of adequate security in military headquarters. The government and its departments utterly disregard women's demands and calls for assistance until the situation becomes out of their control and people begin to see their incompetence.

Store policies.

     Store policies.  My job does not provide me with a set schedule because it varies every week. Most days, though, I get up at 6:00 a.m. to get dressed and drive my younger sister to high school. Later, I either return home or drive straight to work. I return home after my 8-hour shift to rest a little before preparing dinner. I work in customer service, therefore I have to deal with and obey a lot of strange shop regulations. For example, if a customer has the receipt and the product, I can't refuse a refund, even if the item is a dead plant or a three-year-old light bulb. I'm new to this job, and despite my training, there were still things I didn't know. For instance, a few weeks ago, I was requested to work in the garden section. However, before I could change, I had to tell a few employees that the shop had possible thieves. Unfortunately, they had already stolen $1,000 worth of stuff when I arrived in the garde...

Mexico City

  Mexico City is the most urbanized city in Mexico and, as a result, the most polluted city in the country. Urban regions are a major source of CO2 emissions and are also the locations that consume the most energy. The Mexican government is currently having an agreement with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to develop financially viable projects such as a solar energy project in the city's largest market, an examination of alternative waste management technologies, assistance with the development of the Integrated Public Transportation System, and energy efficiency projects (González, 2019). Agents of the government, multilateral development institutions, and the private sector have all been encouraged to provide more assistance to the government in order to help combat climate change while creating more possibilities for economic growth. Because of this, I think Mexico City is a great example of top-down politics. Even while they work to alleviate the horrible effects o...
