Today is the final day of Women's History Month and I would like to give honor to all of the women who has made the world a much better place. The history of women all began in the country of Kenya, thousands of years ago when God created the first people and put them on this earth. Ever since women have been on this land, it has been a struggle for women to have equal rights as men in this world, but there has been a lot of progress over the years including the right to vote for women in the year of 1920 in the United States of America to the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act that our President Obama signed into law in 2009 which helps women to challenge businesses that overlook their work and pay them much less than their male co-workers.
There is still a lot of work to be done regarding women’s rights in this world. For example, there are still some countries that do not allow women and girls to go to school to get a proper education, and there are some women who are being forced into marriage against their will, and there are women who do not have a choice of what they’d like to do with their lives because of oppressive societies. There are still many sexists out there who do not want women to get ahead in life and make a name for themselves in this world which is really sad. Thank God, the Violence Against Women Act passed, but there are still a lot of men who feel it is okay to make music attacking women and girls as they ignorantly claim that it is “cool” and “hip” to do so—when, in actuality, they are really making fools of themselves and causing bad karma for themselves for they should recognize that their degrading of women in music promotes even more ignorance and disrespect of women. So we do have a long way to go for women to be completely free in this world and the evil that have been against women for so long has to end.
This world should honor the good women because without women there would be no world, there would be no men, there would be no people. Women are the ones who bring forth life and nurture life with humanity and spirituality. Let us honor and remember the women throughout history who have made positive impacts on our lives, women such as Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Ida B. Wells, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Madam C. J. Walker, Rosa Parks, Coretta Scott King, Betty Shabazz, Oprah Winfrey, Indira Ganhdi, Malala Yousafzai, Sonia Sotomayor, First lady, Michelle Obama, and the list goes on and on. It would be impossible to name all of the heroines out there, but for the heroines who are out there, thank you and continue to do what you do.
God bless you,
