INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY

The tradition began with the first National Women’s Day in 1909 and its roots are in campaigning for better pay and voting rights.

What is this year’s theme?
The theme this year is #PressforProgress.

The website says:

“We can’t be complacent. Now, more than ever, there’s a strong call-to-action to press forward and progress gender parity.

“A strong call to #PressforProgress. A strong call to motivate and unite friends, colleagues and whole communities to think, act and be gender inclusive.”

March 8 is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women

The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.

International Women’s Day (IWD) has been observed since in the early 1900’s – a time of great expansion and turbulence in the industrialized world that saw booming population growth and the rise of radical ideologies.

International Women’s Day is a collective day of global celebration and a call for gender parity. No one government, NGO, charity, corporation, academic institution, women’s network or media hub is solely responsible for International Women’s Day.

Many organizations declare an annual IWD theme that supports their specific agenda or cause, and some of these are adopted more widely with relevance than others.

“The story of women’s struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights,” says world-renowned feminist, journalist and social and political activist Gloria Steinem.

Thus International Women’s Day is all about unity, celebration, reflection, advocacy and action – whatever that looks like globally at a local level. But one thing is for sure, International Women’s Day has been occurring for well over a century – and continues to grow from strength to strength.

Thoughts for today, #456 …. “Peaceful Protests …. Nonviolent Resistance …. “!!

~~January 12, 2017~~ 

PEACEFUL PROTESTS

Nonviolent Resistance

Nonviolent resistance (NVR or nonviolent action) is the practice of achieving goals such as social change through symbolic protests, civil disobedience, economic or political noncooperation, satyagraha, or other methods, without using violence.

~Wikipedia~

As the day draws closer, as more and more policies are withdrawn and rejected, as new ones as forcibly introduce, we must stand up.

#Protest #Resist

We ALL are together in this!

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the United States Congress from enacting legislation that would abridge the right of the people to assemble peaceably.

 The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution makes this prohibition applicable to state governments.

The Supreme Court of the United States has held that the First Amendment protects the right to conduct a peaceful public assembly.

To start the day …. “Thank you again …. Lin-Manuel Miranda”!!

~~April 26, 2016~~ 

LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA

Lin-Manuel Miranda, joins Congressional Democrats at a news conference to announce a new push to address the humanitarian and economic crisis in Puerto Rico

I have found a new hero, I have found a new man to admire.

I first heard about Lin-Manuel when he appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s late night show.

His ability with words and music immediately grabbed me.

Then I learned more about his Broadway his show “Hamilton”.

He’s a source of pride for the Puerto Rican people.

However, why is he my hero now?

Many of you may know that Puerto Rico is going through and experience very tough times.

You may have heard that Puerto Rico isn’t able to pay its billionaire debt.

However, there’s so much more to the situation than that.

Those who have followed this blog may know that the situation is partly because of the political limbo in which Puerto Rico has been since becoming a territory/colony of the USA.

The only Puerto Rican “celebrity voice” who has come out, loud and clear, making a case to help Puerto Rico get back on its feet has been Lin-Manuel.

This past week he visited John Oliver and did an awesome job in spreading this message.

It’s gone viral!!

A Facebook page has posted his intervention with Spanish subtitles as a public service for Puerto Ricans to better understand his message.

“Ante lo viral que se ha tornado la intervención de Lin-Manuel Miranda en el programa de John Oliver, hemos subtitulado su contenido en español para el consumo de todos los puertorriqueños como un servicio público.”

I’m including a short video where Lin-Manuel explains.

Please, take a look!

National Domestic Violence Awareness Month …. October!!

~~October 2, 2014~~ 

This is very serious. It may affect anyone, in any kind of relationship. Family member, elderly relatives, LGBT community, marriage, domestic partnership. It’s there.

Physical, verbal, emotional, economic, sexual …. 

The stigma needs to be removed.

We need to speak up.

Domestic violence (closely related to domestic abuse, spousal abuse, battering, family violence and intimate partner violence) is a pattern of behavior which involves violence or other abuse by one person against another in a domestic context, such as in marriage or cohabitation. Intimate partner violence is domestic violence against a spouse or other intimate partner.

Domestic violence can take place in heterosexual or same-sex relationships. Domestic violence can take a number of forms including physical, emotional, verbal, economic and sexual abuse, which can range from subtle, coercive forms to marital rape and to violent physical abuse that results in disfigurement or death. Globally, a wife or female partner is more commonly the victim of domestic violence, though the victim can also be the male partner, or both partners may engage in abusive or violent behavior, or the victim may act in self-defense or retaliation.

Domestic violence often occurs because the perpetrator believes that abuse is justified and acceptable, and may produce inter-generational cycles of abuse that condone violence. Awareness, perception, definition and documentation of domestic violence differs widely from country to country. There may be a cycle of abuse during which tensions rise and an act of violence is committed, followed by a period of reconciliation and calm.

Victims of domestic violence may be trapped in domestic violent situations through isolation, power and control, insufficient financial resources, fear, shame or to protect children. As a result of abuse, victims may experience physical disabilities, chronic health problems, mental illness, limited finances, and poor ability to create healthy relationships. Victims may experience post-traumatic stress disorder. Children who live in a household with violence may continue the legacy of abuse when they reach adulthood. Domestic violence often happens in the context of forced and child marriage.

Alcohol consumption and mental illness can be co-morbid with abuse, and present additional challenges in eliminating domestic violence. Management of domestic violence may take place through medical services, law enforcement, counseling, and other forms of prevention and intervention.

40% of domestic violence is against men in the UK (the same percent applies to men in the USA). Violence is violence, no matter who it’s aimed at.
