Women’s Rights
I’m scheduled to give a talk on women’s rights tomorrow afternoon at West Visayas State University. I’m excited about it because I’ve added my own reflection about what I think are women’s rights beyond the civil and political rights stipulated in the CEDAW (Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women) among other International instrumentalities.
Women’s rights for me include: the right to dream… to right to love… the right to peace of mind… the right to a ‘radical sabbatical’… the right to care for herself… to grow old gracefully…
I’m exploring the free spirit in every woman by suggesting that these are rights, too …
Still, I want my presentation to be open ended… I asked my audience to reflect on the question: What is my right as a woman???
