Searching for a dynamic leader.

Author: 


During the 1980s, participation of women's political and economic sectors was very low. The United Nations' declaration of an International Women's Year and Decade (1975-1985) started discussion and debate on women's rights. Yet the role played by women in the development of the country remained insignificant. The world has yet to realize the importance of eradicating discrimination against women.Women are playing a greater role in
politics and economics these days -- but their participation in politics
is far from the fifty percent that would represent equal and fair
representation. More than ninety percent of women have been affected by
the violence. Since the terrorism/conflic and war started, rapes and kidnappings have
increased. Prostitution has increased. Kidnappings and torture still
take place.
The forced recruitment of young women into the armed forces and
terrorism is another serious issue.
Most women, especially in rural areas, are incapable of fighting for
their rights. Democratic reforms in many countries provided an
opportunity for some
women to become active. Women's organizations arose and offered support
to women who wanted to share their problems and experiences -- but after
a few years they disappeared. Nowadays women's organizations are
satisfied with carrying out small programs for women, but they are not
bringing any real change in the status of women.
It is true that the women organization nowadays encourages women to
participate in political affairs. But they are still held back by the
parochial culture, particularly in the villages. It is a positive sign
that women are being recruited for the army and other posts, but still
women's participation in politics remains nominal. This applies to
both urban and rural areas. Most women simply avoid politics.
World wide, millions of women live below the poverty line and must
struggle from day to day to make ends meet. Despite their suffering, in
most cases they provide the stability to hold the family together.
World's leaders have consistently said that they would undertake to
improve women's status. But the leaders are adept at changing their
colors and goals, and adjusting to a changing environment. It is this
ability that allowed them to come to the cities. However, they are in
chains. Their hands are tied and their mouths are sealed in the Cabinet.  
Misunderstandings, misconceptions, mistrust and tensions abound among
themselves due to the absence of capable leadership. The empowerment of
women is critical to the world's social and economic development. A
good educational program to educate women in how to manage their
finances and maintain fiscal discipline would be welcome. Women play a
key role in shaping and safeguarding culture and society.
Good economic programs and opportunities are needed to help increase the
income of women and help reduce poverty. It is the consensus of women
that a stable government must be established for all-round development
and freedom of opportunity, both in rights and duties. Women are
searching for a dynamic new leader.
