I think nowadays, women are breaking the borders or the boundaries and also trying to give a new interpretation in terms of impact you can have to the society.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My issue with the state of women became incredibly stimulated when I was visiting developing countries and it became obvious that women bore the brunt of so many things in society.
We live in an era of globalization and the era of the woman. Never in the history of the world have women been more in control of their destiny.
Women are emerging as a major force for change. Countries that have invested in girls' education and removed legal barriers that prevent women from achieving their potential are now seeing the benefits.
I think, certainly in the more civilized societies, women's roles are growing in power all of the time.
I think the Women's movement has had a major impact on everybody's lives in our nation and in the world as a whole.
I by no means intend to simplify the challenges women face in any culture. Women are marginalized in all cultures in my opinion, some in more extreme ways than others.
The women's movement is just a symptom of basic changes in the economy that are favoring women.
Like their personal lives, women's history is fragmented, interrupted; a shadow history of human beings whose existence has been shaped by the efforts and the demands of others.
In the developing world, it's about time that women are on the agenda. For instance, 80 percent of small-subsistence farmers in sub-Saharan Africa are women, and yet all the programs in the past were predominantly focused on men.
Women, nowhere in the world, have the kind of important position in society in the amount that they ought to have.
