My tribute to South African Woman & woman around world!!
Tommorrow 9 Aug is public holiday( South African Woman Day), offices will be closed...its official- one day in a year was declared to celebrate our mothers & sisters!!
The last ten years have seen fundamental changes for all South Africans, & women are no exception. Although the majority of women still live in poverty without access to employment & empowerment opportunities, a new generation of women is emerging.
Womans day is a reminder that we(women) are playing a crucial role in redefing & creating a vibrant new culture for SA. Women are emerging from traditional patriarchal societies (across all cultures) to become more & more independent, both financially & emotionally. Women are infact supporting each other in building up a shared set of resources through education & experience to enable their individual independence & self-relience.
I won't be part of the discussion group 2morrow..for all you great women out there i will be dancing my shoe soles away!!! but i will be back(wednesday) to share how the National celebrations went & what to expect in future!!!
Music is in the air....bye people!!!
