A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has - Margaret Mead.
Those words of Margaret Mead rang very true in a recent meeting of the Pacific Young Women’s Leadership strategy group in Suva, Fiji where a powerful new Alliance to support young women's leadership was formed.
The Fiji Women’s Rights Movement remains cautious, following the removal of the Public Emergency Regulations and the issuing of the Public Order Amendment Decree on January 7 2012.
The Fiji Women’s Crisis Centre has hit out at comments by Ellen Whippy that models need to be “tall and slim” and said that her attempt to compare the demand for a particular size in modelling to the need for fitness in rugby is not only misleading but irresponsible.
As FemLINKpacific just celebrated the organisation's 7th anniversary for Communicating a Culture of Peace, Security and Human Rights, which was conceived at the women's Peace Vigil convened from May to September 2000.
"We live in a world designed to keep
real at a minimum. Global Room for Women is the first website that I've found (and I've looked) that promotes real conversations between real
people." - B. Samuel, Artist, Iowa.
"The Global Room was life changing for me. I was blown away! I am usually not impressed by these kinds of teleconferences but thought GRW was wonderful. It made me feel not so alone on this planet." - A. Olivier, Texas
"I am trying to find ways to change the world I inherited. The only way is through other people. The GRW feeds that part of me that needs to be opened and wants ideas and mutual experience to face the immense challenges. "
- M.Levy, Activist, Wisconsin
