Women crafting a better world

Important work being done. Thanks for posting it.

Proof that women truly are the stabilizers of this world.

Events that transform our lives often pass unnoticed at first. They occur within the flurry of our daily lives while we’re focusing on other things.

Amen.  Thanks!

Great article. I have always believed that women hold the key to peace and progress in society, long term. Even now, most societies and cultures in the free world pay lip service to real gender equality. In less freer societies, women are still subservient in a male dominated structure. Religion has played a critical role in propagating this inequality.

Golden nuggets from the article worth promoting here:

I whispered that we wouldn’t have peace in this world until women had more rights. Unless women could develop economically, their children would continue to grow up in poverty without education, and the cycle of desperation that drives wars and terrorism would continue without end.

I’ve learned that women, working together in spirit, faith, and partnership, can strengthen the global web of life. Starting small and forming partnerships with like-minded people who are committed to making a positive difference in people’s lives is something that Nelly Nacino and I share. We’ve realized that great things can happen if you are willing to take the first step; a single event can start you on the path.

Wake up and smell the coffee, world. Women can show the way if we let them.

not if sarah palin has anything to do with it!  Otherwise, in most aspects I agree.
