INTERNATIONAL WOMAN'S DAY...
International
Women's Day is a global day celebrating the economic, political and
social achievements of women past, present and future. In places like
China, Afganistan, Russia, Vietnam and Bulgaria, International Women's
Day is a national holiday. Ironically, in many of the countries that
celebrate IWD as a holiday, women are terribly undervalued and
mistreated. In our very own neighbourhoods, women are living in unsafe
circumstances. Disesteemed and 'worthless.'
This day that we celebrate, made me think about the value of women. In a woman's lifetime she
will take on many roles. Mother, Sister, Friend, employee etc. But the
one role in which she should be most valued, before she is identified as
anything else, is as a daughter. As she enters the world, she deserves
to be loved for who she is. She should be secure that her life will be
valued. She should grow to know her worth. Sadly, many women, for many
reasons, will never grow to know their worth.
"Daughter. A daughter is her father’s joy and her mother’s treasure because she quickens the heart. An heiress, she was hoped for and is the hope for the future. As the potential carer and bearer of life, she is human wealth. Her invention was God’s all together-lovely crown of creation. The one who completes. Daughters are the feminine form, which embodies love, beauty, hope, tenderness. A daughter is smiles, hugs, laughter; she is a female seeker of truth who asks many questions longing to know who she is. She is a friend and a comfort in the latter years. A daughter is like a priceless pearl."
