2018 has finished and, without any doubt,
it has been one of the most symbolic years for women. During these twelve
months, millions of women around the world have joined their forces to fight
against male chauvinism and patriarchy with the intention to create a world
full of equality.
Although there are still millions of
femicides and a lot to fight for, in this post I am going to highlight the
situations that have shown us the fact that this movement is about to finish with
inequality. It is also necessary to mention that those women who participate in it are supported by millions of men.
The first situation I will highlight is the
great strike called on the 8 th of March in Spain. Its slogan was “The World Stops
Without us!” and women showed it to us by paralyzing the country as they did in many other countries, teaching us that nothing would work without them.
We also have to focus on the great number
of women that have received an award this year, but we have to emphasize on the
historical Golden Globes Gala, dedicated especially to them. It is worth mentioning
the historical fact that, for the first time, a woman has been awarded with the
Chemistry Nobel Prize and another one with the Physics Noble Prize in the same year,
recognizing women's relevance in different working fields.
And last but not least, I want to stress
the reduction of gender pay gap between men and women in some countries. There
is still a lot of difference, but this is one of the best measures that the government
has taken to join the fight for equality.
I could mention a million situations
that this daily battle is achieving for changing our lives and our world into
better ones. We cannot forget that, for the first time in Spain, there are more
female ministers than male. In 2018, Saudi women were finally allowed to drive, and the
“Me Too” movement, which has uncovered many sexual harassment cases and condemned
them, was born. The fact that a lot of things have been achieved these last years doesn’t
mean that we have to stop fighting, so I hope this 2019 everybody will join the movement and fight for equality, that is the real meaning of feminism.
Let’s fight with them!
I agree with everything, very good post!! 🙈

I´m total agree with this post. Not because we are women we have to be inferior. We have to continue fighting to have the total equality and rights but although we are fighting now, we don't have to stop this fight

I do agree with Nerea when she said that it's still being a fight to be carried on and many rights to equally be achived for both men and women. However, this post has made me believe that our blog is the right place to stop for a while and look over all what we achieved along the path through which we've already gone over in the past, just as the writter showed on this post. I feel so proud of what we are doing as civilized and conscientized citizens during these last years..!
ReplyDeleteThe fight will continue! And it's definitely ours! Because as Michael Jackson said, "if you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at youself and then make a change!" And this is so true in this field because we must start changing ourselves, our way when talking and doing things to then be able to make a change. Good luck 💜
I really enjoy this post. We have to continue fighting to get equality between men and women and I think we can reach it if we all fight together
