PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Work in groups of four and role play as “president candidate”. Discuss
ideas and make a speech about what you would do to solve ONE of
these problems.
✔ Child marriage
✔ A lack of education for girls
✔ Low pay for women

POST-READING
VOTING TIME!
Listen to other groups and vote for the most persuasive speech.
The group with most votes becomes “President”!
✔ Child marriage
✔ A lack of education for girls
✔ Low pay for women

SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS
Child marriage
✔ Educating girls: When girls can go to school and stay long there, they will get the
knowledge and skills necessary to support themselves and their families. 
✔ Giving girls the right to decide their future: If girls are knowledgeable and
independent, they won't choose to get married early.
✔ Educating parents and other adults: When parents and other adults know about
the negative impacts of child marriage, they will change their views and support
girls' rights.

SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS
A lack of education for girls
✔ Keeping girls in school: Poverty can prevent or stop girls from going to school. Education
should be free, and governments and charity organizations should help poor families pay for
transport, textbooks and uniforms. 
✔ Making school safe for girls: It's not safe for girls to travel long distances to school. Also, at
school, girls may become victims of violence and bullying. 
✔ Reducing girls' workload at home: In developing countries, girls may be kept home to do
household chores like carrying water, preparing food and washing clothes. Sharing
housework between all members of the family helps girls succeed in getting an education.

SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS
Low pay for women
✔ Supporting equal pay: Companies have to commit to and provide equal
pay for equal work.
✔ Making salary information clear: Payment should be made clear to both
genders so that women know if they make less money than men for doing
the same job.
✔ Sharing housework: When couples share household chores, women can
focus on their paid jobs.
