This results in situations which take an even greater toll on the health and well being of women. We need a reminder to limit ourselves and not to stretch ourselves too thin, while acknowledging that our role in the community is vital to us, as is our need to live life to the fullest. In recent columns, I have written about the need to create opportunities for women to come together, to learn and to share ideas and strengths. Women are often divided by location, race, language, culture, politics and economics. Looking back on the struggle for equality, justice, peace and development, the strength of numbers is obvious.
Women play a vital role in the community.
Not one of us would be here if it wasn't for our mothers, women who have touched our lives and influenced our futures. To all those who love women, are women and celebrate women, look upon March 8 as a day to recognize, advocate and celebrate women everywhere. We can take this opportunity to reflect on what makes us who we are, recognize how far we have come and look to the future -to the achievements still to come.
