Momin 6 posts View profile 08 March 2010  16:24    Quote Re: We need men! - update Thank you Madam Anne-Katrien Denissen, At last I found it Women Festival Inc. 6 March 2010 in Amsterdam, I meet the Director Madam of Women Inc. and asked about you, she opened the festival with a wonderful speech. This is the day in progress to global women rights towards 50% equal rights to men dominated world-power while I felt at this stage it is only 17% working force from women as the Chairman of KPN & Director of Microsoft Nederland has mentioned. It is quit understood by my political research that women participation must reach 50% as well to men participation in all political & business state-of-affairs to meet the balance of global-power while it is missing in action since the 2nd world-war draining innocent blood in lied-war and terrorism while veto power is not democracy nor fair-freedom but dictatorship. Let us hope for the best for a green mother earth run by collective men & women 50%:50% not by a dictatorial-state nor by dictatorial-president or king or Queen to make our Globe of Peaceful Haven as God/Allah promised! Yes I enjoyed the talk show & Hoofd-doek 1000 euro belasting drama! PeaceMan !

Of course women need men to combine their strengh to make the world a better place. For the case of my country the BURKINA FASO (west Africa), on February, there was a meeting of leaders women, parliamentary women and the frames of the political parties. It aimed at strengthening the capacities of the women leaders,to improve their effective contribution in favour of a governance centred more on the poor men. At the end of this meeting the women will be equipped with knowledge and they can help the men to re-yield on the axes of development and of the blow to fight against the plagues which mine their country as the poverty, the drought, the crime, the famine etc. Thank you Anne-Katrien for your subject wise.

And even though one side of the sexs served as the way of defeat in humanity, they were always together up to this present, and so will it be till internity! In this sence, I see it very and vitally possitive to get women behind the driving wheels which must be done by encouragements, directions, leadings, education, based on TRUTH and more over LOVE! And I think, only MEN are NEEDED to get MORE WOMEN BEHIND THE WHEELS! So if you ask me, my answer will be a very big YES to WE NEED MEN!

I agree that we need men and I want to add that men need women. As I type this, I am thinking about my country Kenya and the struggle for affirmative action amongst other gender equality/equity instruments and/or systems. I am particularly inclined to the current constitutional review process that has been going on and that is advancing towards a very decisive moment - the referendum - on 4th August 2010. Entrenched in the proposed constitution are numerous gains for women including the 1/3 principle of affirmative action. To the dismay of we in the women movement, alot of men (especially in the rural areas) have a serious problem with the women gains as they stand. Some of these very thorny provisions include the right to inheritance for female children from their parents. I do not know why we never look at women empowerment as a benefit for society because perhaps if we did then we would understand the need for provisions like affirmative action. My point is, women emancipation is of great benefit to men and the men need to realize that the conscious effort made by governments and other stakeholders to uplift women will only make life better for the whole society. We need men and men need women.

We could practically start at the UN level and have a woman Secretary General for a change (talk of leading by example!). mabutoh@yahoo.com

Each has strength to bring on the table and the difference in biological features must not be seen as a maojor difference and a point of conflict, but rather as complimentary to each. Human dignity is uphold by all irrespective of gender or sexual orientation by virtue of being human. Each person is unique and has something unique to contribute to humanity if space is created.

What threats the woman's stability threats too the man's stability. The world cannot progress if the men and the women are not working in a complementary manner.

		VoiceOver 2015 member   Misheck Mutuzana Zambia 12 posts View profile 25 July 2010  22:00    Quote Re: We need men! - update I agree with all the views of my coleagues.In my own opinion i think we need both men and women to partner in developmental issues. Some women are influential, pragmatic, intelligent and can drive the economy of a country. Whilst in other circles of life we see men failing to run and drive the economy of the country but great women have stood firmly and contributed fully to the economies of their country. Some men also have done tremendous jobs in improving and driving the wheels of the economy of their countries. So in order to balance in he developmental issues of our countries we need both men and women who are not egocentric, those who can sacrifice for the benefit of their nations.
