The final research paper should analyze and assess a social movement that is currently unfolding and working toward social justice pertaining to women’s rights and/or gender equality in some way.

There are three parts to this paper:

Research this group and their current mission and goals, past accomplishments and current membership levels. Why or how did this group get started? Who are its significant leaders? Is it effective? What level of media presence does it have? Briefly describe your findings (in approximately 2-3 pages).
Review journal articles that discuss the issues that this group is focusing on. Using research-based findings, provide a feminist or sociological analysis on one of the main issues. The analysis should include, but is not limited to (in approximately 4-6 pages):

The scope of the problem and where it is happening
The possible gendered causes and explanations for this social problem (brief history)
How this issue intersects with race/class/sexuality/disability/ethnicity etc.
Who is the problem perpetuated by? Why?

Conclude the research paper with your personal thoughts on the effectiveness of the group’s tactics to make change. Please keep personal opinions and reflections only to this section. The rest of the paper should be based on research and all work needs to be cited (1-2 paragraphs maximum).
