The effect of this had significantly disadvantaged women in workforce as they were disqualified with lack of acquired knowledge accessed at school. For instance the Leves v Haines case [1986] where Melinda, a female student feels that she has suffered discrimination based on her gender which limited her and fellow peers in accessing ‘hand on’ male dominated subjects. Legal entities, such as the Equal Opportunity Tribunal have effectively demonstrated their responsiveness to Melinda’s plea in ruling her complaint through the belief that subject selection was limited as a result of gender. NGO’s have also greatly contributed their responsiveness in non-legal aspects in the changing rights of women in education, for e.g. World Vision International is an NGO that effectively communicates the responsibility of the State to finance girls’ education and the unique role other NGO’s can play in helping governments through advocating, partnering and complementing the work of the State in order ensure that all children enjoy their right to a quality gender-equitable education.

She was not granted equal rights compared to all the other men like Rochester. Though she did not deserve such a discriminating job, it was her only option to make a name for herself in the world.
Scheller, growing up extremely poor herself, explains that spending your childhood in incessant, unflinching poverty can replace normal self-esteem with a feeling of shame (356). She also speaks of her financial situation being her “shameful secret,” stating that she preferred having no friends to having anyone find out (356). Some impoverished children are in such terrible conditions that they “think that only rich people have their own bedrooms” (Quindlen 359). Another mental side-effect of poverty on children is the creation of prejudice - the undesired conditions of people must be explained somehow, perhaps by blame. Groups form and some “are united by nothing more – and nothing less – than a hatred of the white world and all its works” (Baldwin 364).
We need Awareness, of what you can change, for our- selfs and others to be a better servant leader. As we are servant leaders in the church, that means helping everyone out, not just the saint we know, and like.

Children were an economic responsibility for women - providing food, housing and clothing until the child was independent and could go out to work to provide for the family themselves. Most working class women worked, as this was an obligation, but this work contrasted hugely to that of their male counterparts, occupying roles of lower skill and less pay.
