So, in the act 6 part, I was teaching little kids especially the little girls about english. I think the thing that I already teach them will be very useful for them because english is an important subject if we want to be successful. Their value will increase since their knowledge is wider than the one that never had an actual english lesson. This way, they won't be treat as worthless person. All this time, people always think that women must only work at home. They will change the world…

I kept thinking how to do this mission until, I remember that I have a friends that started a community and service (CAS) about teaching english to little kids. The CAS is called Riveria. They chose to name this program riveria because the school is located near the river. Here is the photo of evidence when I teach the little kids, especially the little girl about english.…

Knowledge is the main problem that blocks woman from economy. Our group decide to donate many school supplies such as books, pencils, pen, and etc to children in the villagers through from a community and service in my school named "invisible children". Basically they need students to donate books and more school supplies for the children in the village so they can have the privilege to learn how to read and write.

"Invisible Children" has a goal which is helping children in the…

In sub - Sahara Africa, more than 550 million people that live less than $2 a day. Each day is a struggle because it does not earn enough for their daily needs. Women have to take their own opportunities and, as well know it takes money to make money. In 1991 a group called "CARE" developed a way harness in a village in Southern Niger. In 2011, CARE have helped more than 7 million people to improve their household income. Woman do two third of the work but only get 10 % of the income.…

In Chch, after the quake, it has made us stronger and more well-off as a community. We have learnt from bad things, and know 2020, we have our old lives back. We are more grateful for our city and what we have compared to some people.Some of our historical buildings will still be standing, some reaching over 200 years old. We will have a many modern and old fashioned buildings, a new cathedral and mroe earthquake proof foundations.

In 2020 it would be a great improvement for all women in the world when (sexual) violence could be described with Once upon a time...

So it is with the women I empowered in ACT this week. The association 'Frauen helfen Frauen' has helped many women and families to left behind years of violence and confrontation. Now the women are ready to be not a victim anymore, they have developed, become more confident and self-assured and they now help other women. They got help…

I chose an article titled: "India: Transforming poor rural women into successful business managers". It describes the very successful project “Swaayam”. “Swaayam” is an UN Development Programme (UNDP)-IKEA Foundation pilot initiative. The goal of the programme is to empower women socially, economically and politically. To achieve this goal the women get trainings on financial literacy and business management. This strategy works so well that up until now there are 12,000 financially literate…

Thinking about indigenous peoples, I always figured that they have a great community without violence and social and economic pressure. This week however I was made aware of the cruelties, women obviously have to endure in such communities. It almost recalls medieval practices: In some Asian Pacific communities, indigenous women have to fear to be accused of being a witch, which would implement torture. In some African countries, up to 100% of women have undergone female genital mutilation.…

In my opinion the most interesting news story that has been published was the one about the implementation of kaws againat discrimination based on gender: http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=42120&Cr=&Cr1=

I found it quite shocking that there are still countries in Europe where there are no equal rights for men and women. I thought this is a topic that is on the Agenda in Asia or Africa…

For this week mission I informed myself a lot about violence against women and children. So I decided to support an association which helps women who are not able to extricate themselves from their awkward disposition. And this association gives starting aid for a life after violence and savageness.

But for me it was important to support an association which is around me so I can be sure that my donation came in. Some days ago I phoned with my parents and I told them about my thoughts…

Investigating about empowering women I found a lot of 'examples' around the world which affect physicality of women. For me it is really detesting and cruel to force women and unfortunately also children into sexual acts.

I am particularly saddened by the atrocities Haitian women often have to endure. After the earthquake in 2010, the situation for the inhabitants especially for women was inhumane and degrading. There was no security in the displacement camps. There was no food; there…
