Interview with Michelle Kaminsky 1/21/16

On Thursday, January 21st (2016) my group and I interviewed a female Assistant District Attorney. She also happens to be the Chief of the Domestic Violence department. Kaminsky’s answers were much different from other women that we interviewed. She told us that she hasn’t faced gender-based discrimination in school or in her career. She told us there are 500 people in the Brooklyn District Attorney offices and about half of them are women. The amount of chiefs of departments are equal between men and women. Although there is only 1 female District Attorney (the people who run the whole office) in America. Other than this, she hasn’t seen or faced any sexism. I think it was good to see that not everywhere is unequal (gender wise) but many places still are.

My name is Skyler Pierce-Scher and it am an eighth grader at LREI: Little Red School House and Elisabeth Irwin High School. My social justice project is the sexualization of women in the work place. I chose this topic because I want to bring justice to the women stuck below the glass ceiling. caucasian women make 75 cents to a white mans dollar and a black woman makes 64 cents to a white mans dollar for the same job. Their are very few women CEO's or women that own a business. This is not right.
