Option 1

 * Women's rights in Myanmar
 * Article Evaluation
 * A very general overview about the gender equality situation in Myanmar and what led to that situation -- a lot of areas that are possible for improvement. Also, lack of update and what this means moving forward for women in Myanmar (in terms of women's representation, women's rights in public life/public spaces, etc).

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Gender equality in Rwanda


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article does a good job on touching on the history of women's rights in Rwanda, the UN resolution 1325, and educational advancements. A big place that it could be improved however is the advancing gender equality section, which has a lot of potential for expansion. Another big thing that is missing is land rights for women in Rwanda.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Fair Representation Act (United States)


 * Article Evaluation
 * Very brief information, currently a very short article. Could provide more information about it and the efforts to get it passed (a couple of the sources are very evidently from organizations that want to get it passed -- would be good to know what kinds of organizations are interested in passing this legislation).
