The Future is Feminist

-

    Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could reverse the limited progress that has been made on gender equality and women’s rights. The coronavirus outbreak exacerbates existing inequalities for women and girls across every sphere – from health and the economy, to security and social protection.

    The empowerment and autonomy of women and the improvement of their political, social, economic and health status is a highly important end in itself. In addition, it is essential for the achievement of sustainable development. The full participation and partnership of both women and men is required in productive and reproductive life, including shared responsibilities for the care and nurturing of children and maintenance of the household. In all parts of the world, women are facing threats to their lives, health and well- being as a result of being overburdened with work and of their lack of power and influence.

    Empowering women to participate fully in economic life across all sectors is essential to build stronger economies, achieve internationally agreed goals for development and sustainability, and improve the quality of life for women, men, families and communities, The private sector is a key partner in efforts to advance gender equality and empower women.

    This is revolutionary. Given that girls' education is the main focus and what is funded in today's girls' empowerment work, it is time to rethink our strategy and action around the world. This is not to say girls' education isn't important or shouldn't be funded. It is to boldly challenge conventional assumptions on what empowers girls and young women. It is also to invite partners in more data collection and to scale this endeavor.

Mum’s The Word

“Mothers hold their child’s hand for a moment and their hearts for a  lifetime .”  The 12th of May is the day we celebrate the women who raised us. They dedicate their lives to us, they’re selfless yet strong, they’re affectionate and protective. It goes without saying that being a mother is one of the toughest, most rewarding jobs out there. But one day isn’t enough to show our gratitude for all their hard work and sacrifices to make us happy, safe, and well. They do so much for us, and sometimes, we don’t even realise that. So the least we can do is honor them whenever we get the chance. Mother is always the special and most important person in every kid’s life. She carries for nine months and creates a strong bonding with children till her last breath. Moms also sacrifice their dreams to give the best in everything for their little ones. The love of a mother is pure and unadulterated. She does not have any selfish motives and offers the most unconditional love on earth. All...

New Education Quality in the midst of Pandemic

      During this pandemic, students faced a sudden change from on-campus learning to online learning. The pandemic itself has caused much worry, stress and grief.     The self-isolation and distance learning in educational institutions because of the pandemic stimulate the use of e-learning technologies in practice. The transformation system was the result of an extraordinary adaption of the system to the conditions of the pandemic. I have a lot of beneficial affects to both teachers and students as well as the families not only for Covid-19 but also to protect students from outside the house. The disadvantages are that with no faculty around for face-to-face interaction and no classmates who help with constant reminders about pending assignments the chances of getting distracted and losing track of deadlines are high. Not all students have gadgets and internet connection due to lack of money. This is why they are struggling to their lessons.     Face...
