FOR ALL WOMEN & GIRLS IN THE NEW
YEAR - OUR TIME IS NOW!
*POVERTY IS A CORE OF ALL HUMAN
RIGHTS OF WOMEN & GIRLS.
POLICIES AND PROGRAMS AND
RIGHTS MUST BREAK THE CYCLE
OF GENDER POVERTY.
*HUMAN RIGHTS ARE INTERSECTIONAL,
NOT TO BE CONSIDERED IN
ISOLATION.
*RHETORIC OF POWER MUST REACH THE
PULSE OF GRASSROOTS
WOMEN - ALL WOMEN, ACROSS
BORDERS, LANGUAGES, POLITICS,
RELIGIONS, CULTURES &
TRADITIONS.
*LAWS NEED TO TURN INTO PRACTICE,
WITH SUPPORT AND
ACCOUNTABILITY. EDUCATION
ABOUT LAWS & MONITORING OF
LAWS ARE VITAL FOR
PROGRESS OF WOMEN'S RIGHTS.
*GOVERNMENT PROMISES FOR SOCIAL
BENEFITS, FOR PROTECTIONS,
FOR POLITICAL WILL TO PROMOTE
GENDER EQUALITY, SHOULD TURN
TO DELIVERY, TO REALITY.
*PREJUDICE AND PATRIARCHY MUST
BECOME TOLERANCE AND
EQUALITY.
*DEPENDENCY NEEDS TO TURN TO FREEDOM
& INDEPENDENCE.
WOMEN & GIRLS CANNOT BE
BOUGHT, SOLD, ENSLAVED,
COMMODIFIED.
*WOMEN & GIRLS DESERVE THEIR OWN
SPACES, THEIR OWN AGENCY,
THEIR OWN FREEDOM, & FOR
THE FULL LIFE CYCLE.
*PATRONAGE AND FALSE ENTITLEMENT
MUST TURN TO EMPOWERMENT
AND DIGNITY.
*WE AS WOMEN SAY - DON'T TALK ABOUT
US WITHOUT US. MAKE
PARTICIPATION AND POWER FOR US
"AT THE TABLES"
DECISIONS ABOUT OUR
LIVES, RIGHTS, LEGAL JUSTICE, PEACE
PROCESSES, FINANCES +.
*WOMEN MUST HAVE CONTROL OVER THEIR
BODIES, THEIR HEARTS,
THEIR CHOICES, THEIR
DESTINIES.
