strong women, strong world, International Women’s Day 2008
March 5, 2008
This theme draws in part from one of the fundamental beliefs underlying the modern women's movement, that “a woman's place in society marks the level of civilization of that society.” This refers not only to the empowerment of women as a means to bring about positive and fundamental social change but to the critical roles that women play as leaders, policy-makers, caregivers, educators, and international peacemakers. The theme also draws from the fact that empowered women can, and do, play a fundamental role in current and future efforts to preserve and protect the world's natural environment.
... Strong Women, Strong World, makes clear, when we empower women, we secure a brighter future for everyone.

The spirit of life is born at the winter solstice when the sun begins its gradual return. In February, at Imbolc, the earth, the physical, has its first experience of life stirring deep within, waiting to appear in the spring. read more
