MARCH IS WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH - GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE OUR FAMILIES ABOUT WONENS STRUGGLES AND ACHIEVEMENTS

School closings amidst ‘Corona Virus crises response’ might bring a great opportunity for parents working from home to create “activities/ learning stations” that can keep their children busy while they work remotely - Woojr has wonderful tips. 

Many of us do not remember but American women had to fight for the right to vote longer than American black men, voting only earlier than Native Americans, who acquired the right in every state in 1962.

Although women makes half of the world population, our access to fair wages, education, career opportunities in all fields, still fall behind our male counterparts. As mothers/ parents/ caregivers of the new generation, It is our duty to help shape a better future for our girls. Let’s inform and educate our children, reasoning on each generation struggles, brainstorming solutions and further acknowledging the women who have been fighting long years to bring us where we stand today.
