Response.
Women’s roles have changed over the social, historical and cultural contexts due to
social economic and political change. In this response I will compare women’s roles in First
Nations societies to those in my own culture, and analyze three distinct ways in which the
Métis recognized their identity.
Contemporary Women’s Roles.
In the contemporary world, one is likely to meet many women engaging in very
crucial responsibilities such as supporting their families, fomenting education and
development as well as spurring the economy’s growth. Being primary family caregivers,
they are solely responsible for child and elderly members of the family and this in turn helps
sustain a stable family. Apart from home, women are proactive teachers, formal and non-
formal education supporters for everyone as education is essential for community uplift
(JAHAN-E- MANN). They are more inclined to the voting pool in the job business, but they
do face various problems including wage disparities and lack adequate promotions to higher
ranks.
Nevertheless, women keep making significant and invaluable inputs for the
sustenance and development of our society. This, in turn, proves that they are strong and
persistent to take many tasks at the same time. A woman is not only preparing for the future
as a care giver and teacher of the coming generation but also as an entrepreneur, leader and
an in innovator in various fields (JAHAN-E- MANN). As we keep on identifying and
working towards combating the barriers that they go through, we owe to acknowledge and
encourage the progress and the fight for equality that they are inquiring. In this manner, we
can design society as an environment that accommodates all challenges that women can
potentially face.
