Because I Am Focus Group
Our Mission
Our service group is committed to advocating for gender equality through consistent, innovative and well thought out courses of action. This year, we aim to broaden our reach, addressing a wider range of issues and encouraging the respectful discussion of feminist issues.
Our members include:
Our SDGs
Gender Equality
Because I Am is a service focused on establishing equality among the genders in politics, media representation, as well as just in the general community. We believe that we as a service are strongly connected to SDG #5 with our proposed course of action to bring about that sense of equality that our generation must strive for. The respectful discussion of feminism is one prevalent in our service, and is something that we believe should be talked about more, even beyond the four walls of our classrooms.
Equal Rights
This SDG falls hand-in-hand with SDG #5, because BIA is not purely a service about equality between males and females. Our discussions stem further beyond that, also reaching points regarding race discrimination among different countries and communities.
Fair Policies and Laws
During our sessions, the members of BIA often discuss the different laws set in place that may be controversial from an equality point of view. Our goal for feminists around the world is to build a political environment where both genders are equal, receiving the same levels of representation and respect, regardless of their positions in power. The various policies set in place by governments and establishments impact women around the world, and we aim to gain a greater understanding of the way that these systems work.
