I am interested in looking at women rights. Specifically I think I want to look at how women are being held back in their communities by things that they can't control like having their menstrual cycles. With this I want to look at the work that Elizabeth Scharpf did in Mozambique and developing inexpensive sanitary products.
I also want to look more into other womens health issues in this country.

Possibly off of this I would want to do a different topic pertaining to womens health in the middle East or Africa. I know its a current issue and I'm really interested in know more about it.
I also want to look at women and education and in what ways they are being held back or discriminated against. I know that in some countries young girls are not able to go to school because they have to take on the duties of the home.
