I've been focusing on highlighting women and their innovations to help alleviate hunger and poverty. Here is the link to the site www.nourishingtheplanet.org, feel free to check it out. I would love for you to consider cross-posting any posts or to include a link to your site. My personal diary about the trip is called BorderJumpers at www.borderjumpers.org. I'm headed to Ghana now, we've done research and written about Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Malawi, Zambia, Mozambique, Botswana, South Africa, Madagascar, and Mauritius.

On my travels I meet women with husbands that more interested in beer than the well being of the family. I can't get used to this sort of news however many times I hear it. The truth most economies in the developing world would crumble without the efforts of women, who work the land and are at the market at the crack of dawn Last year I go introduced to women displaced by the 20 year old war in northern Uganda and they were the subject of my other blog on women's day.

This morning on Radio 4 it was announced that in some parts of the world health care provision for women is at the same level it was in the UK 100 years. I have often wondered about the issue of dowry and the role of women in enforcing it. What would happen if they started campaigning against it?

Sponsoring a girl child would be a grand idea. According to Wiki - International Women's Day (IWD) is marked on the 8th of March every year. It is a major day of global celebration of women. In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women's economic, political and social achievements. Women displaced by armed conflict – often living alone with their children – are frequently exposed to sexual violence, discrimination and intimidation. Many face poverty and social exclusion as well. International humanitarian law therefore includes specific provisions protecting women, for example when they are pregnant or as mothers of young children That’s a very powerful website Ann, with some incredulous statistics.
