We need men! - update
Thank you very much for all reactions so far on the statement: "We need the input and commitment of men to realise a colorful and equal world for all."
Of course the Worldconnectors' next question is:
"WHAT DO YOU DO TO GET MORE WOMEN BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL?"
We are looking forward to your input!
On behalf of the Worldconnectors support team,
Anne-Katrien |

Re: We need men!
"We need the input and commitment of men to realize a colorful and equal world for all".
This is a great and wise statement. It is calling for a " COLORFUL AND EQUAL WORLD FOR ALL". A world where racism,sexism,injustice,misogyny,misandry and machismo won't have a room. A world full of love ,peace and purpose where men and women won't be blaming one another but will work together to make life easier for everyone so that we all can make this world much better than we found it.Yes,both men and women need one another,no one should claim to be better than the other. As the saying goes,"next to every successful man there is a wise and supportive woman". One is a champion, the other is a coach. It is a matter of head and heart depending on each other, not one person's show.
And while the input and commitment of men is highly needed,I wonder if all women are committed to this kind of world.
Let us hope that the above statement doesn't imply that it is men who are hindering the Colorful and Equal World For All. May GOD of Peace help us all and bless our efforts.
There is hope!

Re: We need men!
I agree with the statement and with you Thomas.
Women cannot achieve gender equality without the cooperation and participation of men.
Men as a community, organization, and state leader or indeed as husband and father, often wield enormous power over many aspects of woman lives.
As a woman, we need them to work equally to defend gender equality rights. Men need to be involved to reach gender equality. We need to work together! |

Re: We need men!
so, invite more men to this global discussion! Why are there mostly women at the CSW in NY next week? So, to all the women bring a man (or invite a man in this discussion) to the Women inc. festival next week.
greetings annemiek und sylvia |

Re: We need men!
We need to stop whining about the hard life of a woman, and starting taking all the responsibility we have for ourselves. Men can help us learn another type of behaviour, necessary to conquer the world.
At the same time, I came to the conclusion that we need 2000 years of female dominance to straighten up the difference... |

Re: We need men!
You can have equal rights written in the constitution, but in practice, men and women worldwide are equal only if they also experience the equality. It is difficult to convince a woman that she is allowed and able to act the same as her father, husband, sons and brothers when she has been taught her entire life that she must ask permission for each action and that she must obey to men at all times. These men play a pivotal role here. To them the task to let women in their value and to let them grow self-confidence. To learn their daughters to deal with freedom, not to live to serve the man. If the man feels that the situation, as now in many countries in the world, without equal rights for men and women, is already good enough, there will be no change. |

Re: We need men!
We need men if men are ready to make a large change and
keep that change, so we will have equal gender right.
That is what we need to have if we talk about that we need men. |

Re: We need men!
I enjoy Brahma Kumaris Spiritual Academy being run by women only and The Hunger Project aiming to end world hunger focussing on the role of women. Whatever we do, holistic approaches are best and men need to be included. |

We need women more!
Yes, we need men.. But we need women more. We cannot change this world without men, it would be naïve to exclude men from any future changes we wish to make. But, when looking at the global crisis in the world today we should not forget the dominant gender of the leaders that have brought us to this situation. I therefore think it would be good if a few women would stand up to fundamentally change the world. |

Re: We need men!
We need men to exploit the value of women in the society. I admit... Men enlarge our chances to participate in the society. |

Re: We need men! - update
Participation of both women and men from different cultures and disciplines in decision making is expected to generate better solutions and contributions towards a more sustainable world. |

Re: We need men! - update
Hallo Anne-Katrien!
Just to answer the question,"WHAT DO YOU TO GET MORE WOMEN BEHIND THE STEERING".
I think every woman needs LOVE, APPRECIATION, RECOGNITION, RESPECT and SECURITY.
If women are convinced that they will get those things in the "COLORFUL AND EQUAL WORLD FOR ALL", I think they can be greatly motivated to be behind the steering. In other words every woman needs to know the benefits this kind of world will offer her.
I would also strongly recommend every woman to read the lyrics of the song called "INSTRUMENTS OF PEACE" by KIRK and DEBY DEARMAN.
I am sure any woman who would listen to a such song and meditate on it would work hard not just to be part and parcel of this "colorful and equal world for all" but also to bring in it as many women and men as possible.
