The Latin American feminist songs powering Women’s Day protests · Global Voices

The massive demonstrations and protests held on International Women’s Day across Latin America each year would not be complete without the feminist songs that are an integral part of these demonstrations. They provide the soundtrack as women demand more safety and decision-making power over their lives and bodies. Source: The Latin American feminist songs powering Women’s Day protests · Global Voices

Public anger grows in Myanmar over junta’s power cuts — Radio Free Asia

Public anger is growing in Myanmar over cuts to electric power ordered by the country’s military junta, with residents now stockpiling firewood and candles in what they call the worst power outage in over a decade.

In a statement Sunday, the junta’s Ministry of Power and Energy predicted 24-hour outages in some parts of the country from March 12 to 18 due to pipeline repairs at the Shwe offshore gas field. No details were immediately available on what areas would be affected.

In Myanmar’s former capital Yangon, however, power is already being cut off twice in every 24-hour period, with homes sometimes left dark for six hours each day, sources in the country say.

“Power is not there all the time, and I have to ask myself every day whether I should use my electric cooker or not,” one Yangon housewife told RFA, speaking on condition of anonymity for security reasons.

Il fiore ed il cocktail mimosa

le pagine dei nostri libri

La mimosa è originaria dell’Australia e della Tasmania, anche se ora si trova in tutto il mondo. I fiori crescono quando le temperature iniziano a salire, le giornate si allungano e sta per arrivare la primavera.

Il loro colore giallo intenso porta allegria ed è perfetto per dare un tocco di luce a qualsiasi spazio interno mentre l’aroma dei fiori è speciale perchè ha l’odore caratteristico di quando piove e il terreno si bagna anche se, per la loro coltivazione, le alte temperature e il sole sono i migliori alleati. 

Regalare un bouquet di mimose è una forte dichiarazione di amicizia ma ilsignificato della mimosaè anche strettamente legato allafemminilità, perciò è considerata il simbolo della Festa della donna dal 1946.

Esiste anche il cocktail Mimosa che per la prima volta fu servito in Francia al Ritz di Parigi nel 1925 e che venne chiamato con questo nome  per la significativa…

” Celebre esse data consciente de que precisamos lutar mais por direitos e igualdade “

Marii Freire Pereira

Hoje é uma data reflexiva a todas as mulheres. É um dia de receber muitas homenagens, mais também é o momento de relembrarmos as lutas que nos ajudaram chegar até aqui. A história de luta por direitos é árdua. Muito já se conquistou, mais o ideal feminino é mais. Precisamos avançar cada vez mais, em prol daquilo que se deseja.

A mulher tem sido essa figura que vem se destacado ao longo dos séculos, mas se observa que são ganhos em pequenos espaços da sociedade. Infelizmente, podemos dizer que ainda existe muita desigualdade. Sim, a palavra é essa ” desigualdade ” nas mais diversas situações. E o nosso desejo é, conseguir estreita cada vez mais, aquilo que nos distancia. O mercado de trabalho por exemplo, nos trouxe muitas possibilidades, mas os nossos…
