Mothers Day

Mothers Day brings clear images of days gone bye when my Mother was alive and we as a family celebrated this special time to honour Mother. This year I have a sick feeling in my stomach with the ugly thoughts of how the world has not addressed the issue of respect for the mothers of the world. We are miles behind when it comes to female rights.

Twelve hundred [ 1200] aboriginal women murdered or missing with little thought to have a proper inquiry because the government says that there are enough studies done and we don't need more information. In many, many countries women are used as weapons of war and suffer rape, dis-membrane and torture just because little is done about this tragedy.

The majority of people on this planet are female and it is a fact that countries where there is fairer representation of women in positions of responsibility the country is better off. Women in Africa who become active and goal driven make a huge impact in the social and economic well being of their community. It is a pity that we are able to do so much in time of crisis and yet we stand bye and watch a world crisis in the rights of women until social media shame people to act.

Women of the world have to become outraged and the male population must join in the restructuring of the social orders that condemn women to third rate status. I can just hear my Mothers words if she were here today and witnessing such tragic events.

Happy Mothers Day to all the women who are free to celebrate and receive the recognition they deserve while living in a country like Canada and wishing for a better lot for those who are not.
