Write a paper on the Documentary Reflection Question on Documentary 101 East Australian Dowry Deaths Al Jazeera – 25 minutes.

Reflection Response should be:
-well written, thoughtful, with clear introduction and developed paragraphs.
-show connection to literature (Text to Text connections)
-connections to self (only if applicable) (Text to Self connections)
-roughly 2-3 pages double spaced (approximately 750 words)
Try to respond to all three questions. They are all intimately connected with one another.
The stories of three women are presented: Deepshikha (physiotherapist), Parwinder (farm worker) and Sujana (aerospace engineer). All three are narratives about dowry-based violence.
1. Why do these practices of dowry continue? What needs to be done to recognize dowry as an act of violence against women?
2. Why are Deepshikha’s parents reluctant to support a divorce? What does a divorce mean in the Indian context?
3. What options do women have in these situations? How do we as a community support women in these situations?
I have uploaded lecture notes and readings so you are able to make text to text connections.
thank you!
