As I was thinking about how to complete this assignment I first had to pick a place, picked the Dominican Republic. But, then I had to pick an issue which was the most difficult part because there are so many issues out there such as there is an enormous amount of low-income people that live there, the inequality of a white Dominican and a black Dominican, and the high crime rate, and many more. As I got to thinking there is one issue that is very little talked about, I didn’t even know this was a problem, and I know not many Americans know about this issue. Since I’ve always lived in the US I have become naive to believe that the treatment I get here is the treatment everyone gets all around the world. It seems to me that I have forgotten that there are other countries outside of our tiny little bubble that still see women as objects. Many people forget about how Caribbean women are treated. Everyone sees it as a beautiful island with beautiful women who know how to cook, dance, and clean, but they forget to see the true side of this small island, how horribly treated they are. I connect with this issue personally. Last summer I took a trip to DR  for a month and had met a girl. She was telling us about stories of living there and had said that there would be times when she would be walking to wherever she was going to and men would catcall her all the way there. The saddest part was that there was no way for her to stop it, even if she had called the police, they wouldn’t have done anything about it.
