Int’l Women’s Day today

Today, out of the eleven bishops, four are women; a woman is preses (head) of the community of bishops. In Mozambique, the global community (including Canada) supports reproductive and maternal-health services, but family members prevent some women from accessing those services. I can say a lot about goals and what I believe is fair and needed. If you found meaning by taking part of the strike by protesting, donating, or volunteering on Wednesday, good for you.

I recently heard of a woman who – at her husband’s insistence – made the decision to have reconstruction surgery, so I chose to use today’s opportunity and write an open request for attention to be paid to this issue.

This year the theme for today’s International Women’s Day is “Be Bold for Change” – a decisive move from making a pledge for parity (last year’s theme) to calling on people to take real action.

Two major events are being held in the city for the Day Without A Woman. We need you to do more than volunteer. The group focuses on issues like economic justice, pay equity, racial discrimination, women’s health and body image, reproductive rights and justice, representation of women in the media and more. The Italian 1970s feminist campaign for Wages for Housework animates Sarah Leonard.

Teachers who took the day off spent the time marching in organized protests and writing letters to their Congresspersons.

Event organizers said “A Day Without a Woman” was modeled on New York City’s bodega strike on February 15, in which immigrant store owners closed down stores and held “A Day Without Immigrants”, also to highlight their impact on the USA economy.

And conversation is the ideal starting point. That is probably how many people feel it is, especially in the West.

Misguided representation of women’s rights reduce these efforts towards propagating freedom of women to being able to work, play or party in a social level. These are things that women should be expressing to their colleagues. They are everyday concerns, nothing exotic.

Trump, who has been soundly criticized for various remarks and actions opponents say marginalize women, tweeted support Wednesday for the cause. Again, these are not exotic issues.

As for Paula Bennett – who’s probably spent her whole political career being told she can’t be a woman and too angry – she could set an example too. Such work is done without unions or contracts, or through agencies.

Critics complained that “A Day Without a Woman” excluded more women than it included by embracing a laundry list of left-wing positions. “This is what is meant by the phrase “the feminization of labor, ‘” Tortorici argued”.

“Men are nearly twice (39 per cent) likely to reject equal rights for women compared to 21 per cent (women) when it comes to owning and inheriting land”, indicates the report.

What will we be proud to tell our sisters, nieces, and daughters someday? A 2016 survey by Glassdoor, the employer review website, puts the “unexplained” United States pay gap at 5.4 per cent, while the OECD notes larger unexplained gaps in emerging economies.
