Unfort...I agree with Sofiat, Education is very key!<br />Unfortunately the Northerners don't just seem to believe in Education and worse still for the girl child. These are women who would not leave their homes to seek medical care at the height of labor pains because their husbands are not home or yet to give consent. We are getting there however, it's getting better now, it was much worse.Kemihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464512998669582039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202442529910541076.post-45104491212985284552009-09-05T17:37:07.854+04:002009-09-05T17:37:07.854+04:00I have spent sometime with Mufuliat and have atten...I have spent sometime with Mufuliat and have attended workshops that she facilitated, she is so vast and very passionate about advocating for women's issues and this is a very nice piece! <br />On the other side, I dont think divorec should be necessarily viewed as been relegating or bad. There are so many women who are in hopeless marriages tolerating and withstanding all sorts because of the way divorced women are viewed in our society, stigmatisation! There are women who are much more better as divorcees! <br />My thoughts... <br />Let me add that I beleive in the family way of life and in working marriages and in additon, I am a muslim and Allah hates divorce.Kemihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464512998669582039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202442529910541076.post-62852326629116105472009-08-27T13:07:33.452+04:002009-08-27T13:07:33.452+04:00Sigh Sofiat, I agree with you.Sigh Sofiat, I agree with you.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011067202178905890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202442529910541076.post-5972487828305807832009-08-26T18:29:43.870+04:002009-08-26T18:29:43.870+04:00I think the fast is getting to me, cant think stra...I think the fast is getting to me, cant think straight.<br /><br />Annette i kind of disagree with you on the Economic Empowerment, i think its not only Economic empowerment, i have heard of women that are economically empowered and their situation is not any better than of those who are not. I think Economic Empowerment is important but it cannot stand alone it needs other things, societal/family support, education not only formal education, should include sensitizing both male and female to gender issues etc. we need to change people's orientation.Sofiathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12503963114090935072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202442529910541076.post-23722103474035841102009-08-25T21:43:08.082+04:002009-08-25T21:43:08.082+04:00Economic empowerment is KEY!

I really hope that women can at least learn a trade or be enterprising enough to use the skills they already have to get out of this pathetic situation.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011067202178905890noreply@blogger.com
