REDIRECTING THE WOMEN'S MOVEMENTS' FOCUS

*Violence in the United States especially against black people is a sign of the failure of the women's movement to contain and uproot machismo at its core in their society.

*Due to the institutionalized rights of women in that country for better educational opportunities, freedoms of speech, religion, expression, and the lot, women have been led to believe that the struggle for emancipation culminates always in these legislative achievements.

*But a greater degree of struggle should spread wide into the problems of third world women especially - the black and marginalized ethnic rces in that country and the world. The women from these sectors are the ones breeding men who could turn out to be victims or perpetrators of crimes.

*By refocusing their sights on third world women, they would be arousing the interests of  men, especially white men, to more humane interaction with the world.

*Hillary having been catapulted to the limelight because of her past presidential candidacy, Oprah Winfrey, and other notable women, can lead these redirected energies of the women's movement and thereby bring about pece in the long run.

*What is happening now is that women are being drawn to the men-led agenda of politics, and so there is a weak focus on third world concerns. It is time to bring about a new era of the women's movement in the world.that will have more lasting benefits and effects on this world.

*We can see how women's strength has been distorted in the world. The HK leader is the target of the protesters for not espousing national determination of Hong Kongers. Myanmar freed a supposed icon of human rights but turned out the opposite upon her ascension into legally powerful position. The past UK PM was a woman who was deaf to the cries for a more secure society of the people in all aspects especially economy.

*Women of the world, let us welcome change. And let us move the world to a peaceful struggle for equality.
