Make Women's Rights a Priority!
Sponsored by: Mama CashThroughout history, countless women have planned, organized, lectured, wrote, marched, petitioned, lobbied and broke new ground in every field imaginable.
The lives of women have been changed forever – but there’s still so much more to do for women’s rights around the globe.

The 88 days between Dec. 10 and March 8 - International Human Rights Day and International Women's Day – is a time to make women's rights a special priority. We're already halfway there. Now is the time to Act!
You can contribute to a better world for women and girls! Pledge to do your part during these 88 days and convert your personal power into action and awareness.
Your pledge can be as simple as sharing your opinion on women's rights, or reading an article - or it can be as large as hosting a dinner party in honor of womens' rights, taking part in an event or making a speech.

I always love & respect the role of woman in our Life, wheather she is a Mother, Grand Mother, sister, cousin sister and my beloved WIfe, I always respect & help to my all female co-workers. My religion Islam gives the education of to respect woman in every character, But I also regret to my Society, women are not getting their right opportunity & respect especially in Rural Areas of every province in Pakistan especially in Sindh, where Thousands of innocent women has been killed intentially due property/Land/Family matters, That's really the act of Barbarian & very regrettable, which is the main reason of Illiteracy, poverty and old Traditions, While our religion Islam is against this brutal act of Rural's people. I also condemn these activities of insulting & killing of Innocent women.

I'll contine to support my female colleagues in reaching their potential despite everything and will try hard to equip my daughter to make her way in the world without feeling like a second class citizen.

There is nothing to tell . . . everyone knows women are not taken as seriously as men, do not have the rights men have, and have no recourse. As a victim of domestic abuse, I have been shocked by the carefree attitude the criminal justice system seems to have about my case, which was pretty serious. I wander around wondering what is going to happen, when it will happen, and even if it will happen.

As a teacher, I'm always discuting w/ my students and trying to show them the minorities rights and that includes races, women, animals, nature, etc.I do believe that we must have to develop such conscience in children and teenagers, because they are the ones to change the world.

I have been a recent victim of discrimination and retaliation, please help!!! I do not know where to start!! A huge, rich, corporation fired me for complaining and blowing the whistle. I have suffered and my children have suffered. Please give women equal rights in all ways. Someone out there has a mother that is working hard to provide for them. |
