Super Saturday

End Violence Against Women (EVAW) International Day on Friday 25th November 2016.

Forms of violence:
Physical
Sexual
Psychological.

It is important to note what this movement is about. Ending violence against women but it is more than that. It is a situation that has been ongoing but has been stimulated in different forms such as the Maria da Penha tribulation (http://www.unwomen.org/en/news/stories/2011/8/maria-da-penha-law-a-name-that-changed-society). Which in the end turned out to be an extraordinary movement for the rights of all women in society. Briefly explaining what happened; Maria was in a relationship with her husband who tried to electrocute her after already shooting her in sleep. It is said that the new Law that has been unforced since this incident has only been applies/used in larger cities. Unfortunately; not all woman are as lucky as to survive these attacks and even 2016 there are still cases of violence towards woman. According to World Health Organisation, 1 in 3 woman world wide are estimated to have experience some sort of violence. 

But it is important to note that it is not only in relationships in general where these acts of violence occurs. In some cultures it is said that men are superior to woman and always will be. 

Rape. 

Violence. 

Death.

Women.

Equal?

Decide for yourself. What is going to be your action for today? Are you going to read one of the links above? Learn something new today and keep yourself aware of what is going on around the world. Some of the articles mentioned have provoked others to arise. Such as violence towards woman in Brazil and Kenya even leading onto Women and children. 

Become a percentage wiser than you were yesterday.

Throwback Thursday


Today Reflect Video: SOSMedia


TV... Media.. LET'S REFLECT. SOSMedia was creating to bring forth the benefits and drawbacks of social media. have you ever wondered, seriously wondered: 

Are you making YOUR dreams a reality or WATCHING the reality of someone else's DREAM?
So what is meant by that, well; it's always easy to jump on Snapchat and see what Billy Jean's cousin is up to (because let's face it only a small percentage of us ONLY add people on snapchat that we know, most of us get added and just back with the attitude of 'let's see what this stranger is doing today?' But honestly think of it this way, what are you HONESTLY contributing to your own personal development, making yourself a better person, making a difference to your future, contributing to making your future how you desire to be. I know this is just words right? 

Let's reflect a little more. Let's give ourselves an example: You want to be a Fireman. Tell me, honestly, how have you contributed to making that a reality. Have you allowed yourself to get distracted, regardless as to whether you're doing a course or just finding different methods to approach this career path. There is so much you could be doing to make this a reality but only you can answer this. 

SOSMedia tells you that you need to stop caring so much about how much of a following you have 'this picture only got 7 likes, I'm deleting it' - How many times have you heard this? 

Think about it.
