These range from political issues, economic issues, management of our political and economic life, etc. The role of women in the struggle for human emancipation is indisputable. In Mozabique, South Africa, Latin America and Asia we have countless examples of the core role played by women in such struggles for liberation, in spite of their own oppression by the very societies they fought so hard to liberate. They are the real issues of society in all its manifestations. At the same time we must always be unequivocal in our assertion that there is nothing like women issues.
All issues related to abuse, suffering and discrimination are societal issues.
To the extent that there is such thing as women's issues, then all issues are women 's issues. I am raising this because of the usual portrayal of women as the weak in life and in need of protection. The issues affecting women are among a list of all great challenges facing society and government. They are part and parcel of the political puzzle that we have to deal with. We are not going to solve it by throwing some partenalistic and condescending life in some speech as if they are like the weather.
