Hello. I am President of NGO about Gender Equalities and fighitng violence. We are startig a project about empowerment of women at work. Do you have any recent publication to suggest me about these themes?

I would like to start a discussion on the article published in the Financial Times on 7th November 2019 titled "How older women are trying to change the world"

https://on.ft.com/34CEBCB

The article suggests, that women aged 55 to 70 referred to as "older". It identifies a number of root causes for the "world still run by men"...however fails to include the women who stand by these "men".

It focuses on presenting us "dangerous" women. I think this is a very dangerous message to be sending to our "male" counterparts. We are not here to threaten their position. The message should be formulated strategically to offer strategic guidance on current issues. 

Presenting women as innovative thinkers offering solutions or methods, which men have not thought about. 

Thanks to technology (washing machines, dishwashers, cars, mobility, etc.) have the best opportunity (position) to lead interesting lives. The housework has been automated (dare to estimate 75 per cent) and it gives women who were historically tasked with arranging and completing these tasks the freedom to pursue other activities and interests. 

We are in the best position to take "mavericks" women and scale up and enable interesting lives for ourselves, including our basic biological function of being mothers, and sending the real message to young girls. I would like to ask for a study that would determine a healthy age range for women to have children, so they do not have to face the anxieties and complications associated with having children too late. 

Also to start sending a real message about  motherhood. I have seen interesting studies about how children of working mothers perform better than those raised by women solely devoted to mothering. I think it is time to start inserting some balance into the hysteria and what is becoming an obssession (before it is too late) with being a "perfect" mother. 

For those of you in/around Brussels on 21 November 2019, I share this message:

In the framework of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, PES Women is organising its next Annual Conference. Register here to attend!; stay tuned and share your interest on social media: https://www.facebook.com/events/699394653904671/

Under the slogan Breaking the silence on online violence against women, we will highlight how women’s rights are being violated on a daily basis. Online violence against women needs stronger attention – it needs an effective strategy, so we can change minds, build political will, and create a comprehensive policy response. This conference will look at the current state of play and what more needs to be done to tackle online violence against women.

We look forward to welcoming you to the conference,

The PES Women team

WHEN: 21 November, 13:30 – 18:00

WHERE: Square de Meeus 5, 1000 Brussels

Good day everyone,

I have something that have bothered me for so long, one key reason I am here... I have lots of ladies (young and matured) that have given up on their creative self while others seem to have bought the lie of a woman's inability to be an influecial part of the digital world... These are but just a few that I can mention. I need your intellectual contributions. I hope this is a place to share  things such as this.

Hello everyone, 

I am a newcomer at the eurogender. Does anyone know if I can create a survey in this webpage? I would like to upload one in relation to the economics of domestic violence... Please let me know if some one is aware of this or can give me ideas on how to release it on the web. Thanks! Espe

Hello everyone! I am a newcomer in EuroGender. I just completed my masters degree in Literature which included Gender Studies as a six month course. What I learnt from this academic feminism helped me to analyze my society more vividly. Now in India everything is Gendered so much that I cannot even think of doing or not doing something just a a Human first. Our society is blocked with what we regard as "natural". Being a post-structuralist queer feminist (I regard myself as) I often wonder and go through different societies and their systems. I don't know how much can I contribute to a society. But I am moving to work as a teacher and a researcher. So knowing about tools and techniques from this forum of discussion where I can be in touch with so much variant ideas would be of great help. I recently joined a local NGO here named Sukhad Project and I would like to introduce ways so that as society can walk beyond gendering rituals. Thank you.

Hello Eurogender. I am new here, and registered few days ago. Now i subscribed and i am so disappointed from yesterday. Here in Greece, a new show started, Big Brother. We haven't seen something like this for years.

As we may noticed these shows are little societies, mirror of our bigger outside. Yesterday they showed a 30year old man, talking openly, that he doesn't want to be around with gay men, fat women are not even women and that he has to make sex every day and if the girl does want he rapes! All these have been at live streaming. It has been a big issue here from yesterday. But I realised how people can accept even hearing such words. How this platform can help stop this show?

Thanks for reading.

I am happy being here!

so glad to join you ! have a great time.

Very glad to be part of this network. Hello to you all!
