Today I saw
the results of a study made for the Washington University and Bill´s and
Melinda´s Gates foundation, about Charge of Diseases and it was surprising for
me, because the highest cause of dead in Colombia after VIH, what is scary too,
is the violence against women, especially into the couples.
The study
affirms that violence is the main cause of dead in women between 15 and 29
years, the most productive ages, and off course this is a premature dead.
Actually, the most of the countries in Latin America are living the same
situation.
For the
last year, I have been focused in fight against this situations, giving
encourage for the women of our blog and also giving some tips to take the decision of abandon a live in pain.
Nevertheless,
today I´m feeling that we need to do more and I believe that education is a
good way to win this fight. If we teach values and respect to our children
since the earliest education, we can give a better and quiet life to our girls.
I also
believe than we can empower the girls with a high self-esteem and the
conviction to be powerful and ask for respect at home and at every place where
they should confront violence. That´s the reason because I want to recommend
this video, the new definition of princess for Disney: empowering girls. I
applaud this initiative and invite all our readers to be princess and teach
your girls how to be one of this.
