Today is our celebration, the Women's Day! We choose to celebrate or not, this event marks an historic turning point and we can not forget it. Beyond the history and the true meaning of mimosa, today Google has also decided to dedicate a doodle that, however, far from being a mere wish graph refers to an initiative far more important.
The online search giant, in fact, is the promoter of the "Bridge to women," an international mobilization to espouse the cause of women in the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day. So, today, the Millennium Bridge in London, New York on the Brooklyn Bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco to the bridge linking Grand Barriere Rwanda and Congo, women around the world are meeting to say that we all together, that the case belongs to all women and the achievements that we are no medals on the chest of each.
Everywhere today there are initiatives that make us stop to think that we can do more, we can really change things. In the bottom of the page that Google has dedicated the event there are several initiatives that we support with our contribution, from equal opportunities to education, through health, economic security and personal.
Women are mobilizing women for the most disadvantaged areas of the Earth, because, you know, we have to bear the weight of more bad choices of the powerful. Too bad we live in a world where 75% of women can not get bank loans because they do not have a job and has not paid or insecure property rights.
Yet, women do two thirds of the world's work and take care of half the world's food production, but earn only 10% of income and have only 1% of the property. To make matters worse, the abuse of women and girls has reached epidemic proportions throughout the world, so that one in three women will be raped, beaten, forced to have sex or otherwise violated in the course of his life.
We also want to subtract the right to dream, but we will not let her. Beyond the speeches femminsiti easier, it comes to defending a part of the world's population is not taken into account by the highest decision-making spheres. "A bridge for women" really throws a bridge, at least ideologically, between us, the daughters of un'Occidente lucky - even though we despised - and sisters all over the world.
Oscar Wilde was convinced that if "given adequate opportunities to women and they can do everything." On 8 March is an opportunity we must grasp in order to do any other day of the year.
