Cool thing. Important to think about. It boggles the mind that half the world is an underclass of sorts. Yet we make the whole world happen.
IWD is a great day to think hard on those areas where equality has yet to take root. Thanks for sharing the link and blog!
Excellent! And thank you for your kind words on my blog :)
The deep discrimination against women in all spheres weakens society as a whole. It is therefore crucial promote gender equality from the cradle, avoiding any form of discrimination that have makes women had a less significant role than their "self chosen" counterparts..
I'm sorry I missed this important day, but I appreciate the links and will check it out.
Hugs and blessings,
Some people argue that one really dies not require a women's day because women are considered equal to men. But the fact is that the discrimination against women across the world for the past so many years is evident that the liberation and the freedom needs to be celebrated now and yes, I agree that there should be a international world holiday for the same.
