A wonderfully insightful course, with many real-life case studies that reveal the ingrained and systemic abuse that so many women face. The course had the right balance of videos and reading material.

This needs to be a required course for all people, especially those in High School. Boy or Girl, those of us who are coming from "privileged" communities, have our struggles to keep our rights in place. Yet, many in other countries have little rights at all.Imagine what we could do as humans if we all worked together for the greater good of everyone!

Muy buen curso, ofrece mucho material de lectura y permite la retroalimentación de parte de otros estudiantes del curso. El único problema es que gran parte del material audiovisual se encuentra caído y al ser un curso antiguo no presenta mayor material en plataformas web (videos o fotos)

The surprisingly long hours needed to complete this should be at least rewarded with better design & credentials on the certificate. So afer this, no more course from Stanford as the certificate itself is a mockery to our efforts.
The course is too long for its contents, as it was into feminism rather than the advertised women's health + human rights. Plus, i already forwarded some videos of many misleading facts to social media platforms of some government agencies so they'll cold PR about them if need be.
But, the structure & how the assessment was laid out is just fine. Learners participation is good too. Bye Stanford, we won't meet again.

The course on International Women's Health and Human Rights afforded me a profound and multifaceted exploration of this critical subject matter. Through its meticulously crafted curriculum, I delved into various aspects, gaining not only theoretical knowledge but also practical insights that are invaluable in the field. The submission of case studies provided a platform for me to apply learned concepts to real-world scenarios, fostering a deeper understanding of the complexities at play and honing my problem-solving abilities. Moreover, the interactive nature of the course, particularly the opportunity to review and engage with the work of fellow participants, added an enriching dimension to my learning experience. It enabled fruitful discussions, diverse perspectives, and collaborative learning, which significantly enhanced my comprehension and engagement with the material. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to Coursera for providing such an exceptional learning platform and for extending this invaluable opportunity for professional development. The knowledge and skills acquired through this course will undoubtedly contribute to my continued growth and effectiveness in addressing the complex issues surrounding women's health and human rights.

It was an amazing journey all the way of the course. So much information I have learned about women issues around the globe. My knowledge boosted up incredibly. Making the assignments seems like you are participating in resolving the issues of the women worldwide. You have a lot of freedom to use your creativity for looking for solutions. Very informative interviews and lots of extra material to read if interested. It is the must for everyone to know global issues, for not to be an ignorant or making excuses of not knowing what is happening around. Highly recommended not just for the women but also for men and the youth especially! For to be aware and be able to prevent the issues as much as possible. Anne is a Hero for all the women, I feel very proud that exist women so active and capable to make big changes. It seems like she is everywhere in the globe being part of helping women and their issues. Thanks! I rea

Excellent course - thank you Anne Firth Murray - please keep this course going. Brilliant grassroots learning about the harsh and beautiful realities of Women's issues. I wish I could keep learning, going deeper into these issues.
Finding a course that relates exclusively to the unique female experience is a true privilege. Please do not ever change. Hold on to this format, and keep sharing the vast array of realities for women and girls all over the world.
Thank you to all the brilliant and strong women who have contributed to this course, and much honour and respect to the women whose stories have been told throughout this course.
Women for Women!! I feel very Blessed for this opportunity and hope to be able to put this leaning to good use in my future of working with women and children.

I personally found this course gave me more knowledge as woman. This course gave opportunity for me to values my self as woman who have rights as human. From speakers to reading sources, it is very much complete. I also found my english skill improve especially in writing skill. This course also gave me opportunity to learning about another different point of view.
Overall this course is very good. I hope Coursera and Stanford University would continue this great relationship so that a lot more people would reach the knowledge.
I personally recommend this course for every person who interest. No matter how young or old you are, no matter your gender are so that this knowledge and awareness not only belong to women.

Soy una mujer de 58 años , a la que le toco retirarse de su trabajo que amaba a la brava porque no era mi voluntad, me senti frustada, que la vida ya no me ofreceria nada mas interesante que hacer y menos que aprender. Un dia me dije si no usas el cerebro terminaras como un mueble viejo y obsoleto, y flash aparecio en mi busqueda de google COURSERA!! ASI CON MAYUSCULA , y ni que decir de las universidades aliadas en la formacion, y aqui estoy sumamente feliz de haber culminado este curso intenso que requirio mucho de mi pero fui capaz.
Es mi segundo curso con uds y aspiro seguir estudiando y aprendiendo un poco de lo que tan bien saber hacer EDUCAR, mil gracias

The course was very interesting and productive. All the topics and informative materials were relevant, and although some articles are somewhat outdated, it is unfortunate to see that inequality among women still persists in all areas, including health. Dr. F. Murray was excellent in her last video—intellectual, motivating, and full of compassion and love. The evidence is there, and it is everyone’s responsibility to make things change. It starts with oneself, expanding knowledge, reflection, and the desire to act little by little. Thank you very much for the knowledge shared; it is now my responsibility to pass it on.

Very thorough, well-prepared, fascinating and eye-opening course. I strongly believe everyone should participate in it to fully understend problems women must face everyday. Each module addresses specific issue's description, interesting reads and interviews with amazing, wise women around the world and an opportunity to check your learning progress with short quiz and an essay. What I especially esteem about this course is the ability to read and grade my colleagues' work and look at the same subject from another perspective. The knowledge and wisdom I've gained during this course will be treasured forever. Thank you!

This course was presented in a way to allow me to think about and research into these important issues regarding women's health and human rights which I had not considered before. I feel that I have achieved so much insight into the issues covered. I feel that I must do something positive to change the outcomes for girls and women in some way. I thank Ann Firth-Murray and hope that she and the others contributing to this course will considered devising an accredited post-graduate course where by those of us wanting to make a difference can research the issues in a professional and intentional way.
Thank You!

This course offers an extremely thorough grounding in women's health and human rights globally. The individual modules and examples from around the world are extremely informative, but it is the bringing together of those modules, surveying women's life experiences both chronologically and across domains, that creates a comprehensive picture of women's heath and human rights. For me, this picture has been deeply politicizing. You cannot know this material and be indifferent. Thank you, Anne Firth Murray, and thank you, Stanford University, for offering this program. It's what the world needs.

I loved this course, it was informative and inspiring to learn of current issues and projects to address them. Anne Firth Murray is an amazing woman, I am very grateful to her for creating this course. Exposure to these injustices is needed to create awareness and elevate a demand for change. I would not hesitate in recommending this course. It is a fair amount of reading to do on top of work and mothering, but all worth it. I loved reading what my peers thought and their own investigations - this was an interesting part and such multicultural exposure. Really great, thank you!

A wonderful course. A range of curious topics which is interesting. Very good teaching materials. A lot of surprising information throughout the course. Emotional content as we learn that the contemporary world has people like us who suffer to the maximum extent for being a woman. Thanks to Dr. Anne Firth Murray for this excellent course and for taking us from week 1 to the end of the course to week 10, through various organizations and personalities we met in this course. I found the utmost sincerity in the course contents. Thank you to everyone involved in this course.

El curso es muy interesante y abarca diferentes temáticas que te permiten aprender acerca de diversos aspectos de la salud de las mujeres y los derechos humanos. Me encanto cada modulo y cada parte, y volvería a hacerlo. Es muy motivador, y te permite reflexionar y expresar tus propias ideas en todo momento. Tanto las lecturas como los videos o la información adicional, siempre me resultaron muy enriquecedoras y me enseñaron mucho. Recomiendo este curso, sin ninguna duda, a todas las mujeres y todos los hombres que quieran generar un cambio y luchar por la igualdad.

I am an Assistant Professor by profession specialized in Criminology & Victimology. Before taking up the course I was under impression that I know about the victmization and human rights violation. But let me confess that the course gave me a new perspective of the entire issue. The course covers all the relevant aspects of violence against women and health issues globally. Very well structured syllabus and informative session from the experts. Congrats and all the best to the entire team. Thank you.

I would highly recommend this course. It touches on different topics related to international women's health and human rights in deep, and it explains the interconnectednes between those topics. I had already completed a Master's degree on International Human Rights when I took up the course, but this course still provided me with further knowledge in relation to women's rights and health, and on different forms of activism to achieve shared goals in relation to social justice.

The course is very interesting and let me reflect a lot about women's situation. It was interesting to read other participant's points of view in order to better understand the situation all over the world. My suggestion is to insert more women's voices, it is always very interesting to know people's experiences about the topics. another suggestion is to insert updated texts, in order to compare the situation and better understand if things have changed thorugh years

I highly recommend this course to those who are interested in women's human rights advocacy. The course is valuable to everyone who stands for women's rights and empowerment of young girls and women. It was very beneficial for my personal and professional development. I appreciate the opportunity I had to learn about women's rights and women's lives in different countries. I will contribute the knowledge I received to serve my community better.

Great course but don't pay the certificate before reading this.
Written that SOME ONLINE COURSES MAY DRAW ON MATERIAL FROM COURSES TAUGHT ON-CAMPUS BUT THEY ARE NOT EQUIVALENT TO ON-CAMPUS COURSES. THIS STATEMENT DOES NOT AFFIRM THAT THIS PARTICIPANT WAS ENROLLED AS A STUDENT AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY IN ANY WAY. IT DOES NOT CONFER A STANFORD UNIVERSITY GRADE, COURSE CREDIT OR DEGREE, AND IT DOES NOT VERIFY THE IDENTITY OF THE PARTICIPANT.

I thought this course was rally good and insightful. The wide variety of sources used really helped gain a better understanding of the course material. The only issue I had was the time allocated to the work, there are a lot of reading materials that will definitely take up a lot more time than the time indicated on the course. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the course and I definitely recommend it!
