I think poetry and my interaction at the university and literature has helped me reconcile so many differing attitudes which have for long treated women as trash. Poetry has helped me be human and sensitive to the plight of everything about me. This heightened sense has helped me give a voice to the cause of women. I have been thinking about these issues for long and I have come to realize that the key to our future lies in women leadership because they think of posterity and give a human touch to the most important decisions in our affairs.echoesofthehillshttp://lorotpoetry.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789428075439826847.post-74115269620850348192012-03-08T20:38:49.154-08:002012-03-08T20:38:49.154-08:00Thank you for sharing that, Behen.

It requires that there should be no more than two thirds of either gender. But even as laws provide for this, I think the society needs social re-engineering so that the attitudes, perceptions, misconceptions and biases which have been entrenched in men and other segments of the population over the years.<br /><br />It is encouraging to know you and people of your kind who are conscious about these and from different cultures. My culture doesn't treat women well but I think the 'revolution' must start somewhere and it starts with us, the younger generation.echoesofthehillshttp://lorotpoetry.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789428075439826847.post-40386635815316784272012-03-08T09:35:40.908-08:002012-03-08T09:35:40.908-08:00Beautiful, Salem.

You really flatter all women on the planet. <br /> <br />Women go through so much of pain in their lives, both physical and psychological. The psychological pain of being a woman can only be lessened if they are treated like equal citizens. <br /> <br />Women can do what men can do and not do. All what we need is a chance. We waited for it and now, slowly, the doors of opportunity are opening for us. Only because of men like you who have realised our worth in society. Only because of men like you who love us. Love is such a pure force: it can work miracles. And what miracles we have seen for women's empowerment in the past century!madhumakhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09624377766663002237noreply@blogger.com
