The thirtieth:
Time to remember
Article published in October 2015
There has been a lot of talk about woman’s role in the last decades. Equal rights in the job market, sharing household tasks, raise in family income and so forth. As a result, changes in society and in the economy started to happen.
A remarkable fact is that women’s empowerment walked side by side with higher purchasing power and goods consumption in developed societies. But… to leverage consumerism… would this be the fate reserved for women in the 21st century ?
A woman’s action may have a wide reach. Alone, or as part of a couple. As a child’s mother, while educating and passing her values, and in society, where feminine presence represents almost half of the population. In brief, aware about this or not, a woman is very strong.
In current days, feminine actions could strengthen the environmental cause. It is enough to say that we live times of dramatic climate changes, pollution and urban decay, and reduction of areas dedicated to wild plants and animals. Wouldn’t be this the moment to reconsider women’s action as a force to defend Nature ?
Women can do a lot about environmental preservation. Women and men united, may do even more: acting together they have an extraordinary power. As parents and mentors of a family, they may pass their values of respect for plants and animals to their children. And a proposal of defending divine creation may spring up this way as well… and spread all over the world.
