Comment on “Feminism is the unfinished revolution …” by Jane C Woods

The Rebecca West quote is one of my personal favourites! I am saddened by the fact that so many young women today shy away from the idea of calling themselves feminists; there is still so much to be achieved in the field of gender equality.

Gender Bind / Unfair Share

In Times of India [ March 08,2011 ], Ms. Rema Nagarajan provides following insights :

 Women own 1 per cent of the world’s wealth, have a 10 per cent share in global income

 Women comprise half the world’s population but occupy just 14 per cent of leadership positions in the private and public sector

 Of the 1.4 billion people living on less than $ 1 a day, 70 per cent are women and girls

 Women do two-thirds of the world’s work, but earn only 10 percent of the income

 Women produce half of the world’s food, but own just 1 per cent of its land

 Of the almost 900 million adults worldwide who can’t read or write, two-thirds are women

Will mankind [ on “ Women’s Day “ 2011, should I say, womankind ? ] manage to bridge this gap by end of 21st Century ?

With regards

Dear Cleo

I wish to thank you with all my heart for having chosen my picture for your “…healing power of love” article in your blog.. You cannot immagine my joy when I stumbled on it and saw myself together those beautiful little angels…That special day is printed permanently in my mind and it filled my heart having been able to connect with their pure souls and see their beautiful smiles..I wish I had the opportunity to spend more time with them..I am now doing everything possible to become an active volunteer for ETI and I am already collecting much needed supplies to take with me on my next trip to Goa. Please say hi to Ian when you see him as I will always be thankful to him for having introduced me to this great charity. One more thing..: I would be very grateful if you could e-mail me the pictures Ian took of me and the children..I can’t wait to frame them all and admire them every day..My thoughts are with you all and I wish I was there!! I hope to see you soon.
Keep in touch,
Love,
Sabrina
