Beyond the clichés corny, celebrations of consumerism, what it means to be a woman today?
Women are really able to carve out a place in our society?
The media tell us of a shared power at all levels, equality of opportunity, dignity and freedom as the highest point of a winding path that has been articulated between the centuries. Yet we find ourselves every day to talk about violence against women, abuse in the family of restrictions and changes of mind of legislators with regard to the opportunity to become mothers by artificial insemination.
But it also speaks of the difficulties arising from an almost non-existent state support to working mothers, to bullying at work, discrimination of any kind ... and much more.
State assistance, at whatever level, seem to be purely emergenzialistico mold. In short, the usual exceptions to the rule of speaking without actually talk a lot.
Law removes subjectivity to the woman, not safeguard their fundamental rights. And this lack spreads like wildfire in any way. We think even your health. Caesarean sections are increasing, and often depend on mere economic calculations, not the will of an interest in what you believe it is "necessary." The most important diseases of the uterus and breast are not monitored for free and this happens only in age groups. The more people who can not self-sufficient due to advancing age does not require that a meager pension to get by and even housewives have been all my life, do not know what to do or who to contact to get help or advice on disabling diseases such as osteoporosis female (which is among the highest contributory causes of death following fracture of the femur).
Women who come from foreign realities of poverty and hardship are not any help either unaware of their rights, even when it comes to deciding whether to give birth to a son and help him or abandon him even in some box. Or when they end private passport and bangles on the street after having pursued the dream of a job in Italy.
Prevention of social diseases such as HIV does not see substantial progress. The right to education and respect for your body and your being a woman is non-existent in many parts of our world as civil : marriages of female children, women without freedom of expression and without dignity in many Muslim countries, female circumcision for religious reasons, stoning, abortions without anesthesia in Asia and in advanced stages of pregnancy if the baby is a girl ...
The woman who is this? That immortalized for centuries by artists, whose beauty has been sometimes exalted, and other shows like a whore, or the one described as an object of pleasure, caprice and timeless seduction by novelists and filmmakers? E 'grieving mother that feeds and keep the children in his arms during the dark periods of history, a price unimaginable sacrifices? Or is the soulless careerist, the martyr who sacrificed his life during the religious persecution, the toy of the macho, the soubrette in the last hour, the feminist ideals without the indifferent?
Good Women's Day.

The warning of Mother Teresa of Calcutta:
" Keep in mind that the skin makes wrinkles, hair becomes white, the days turn into years .... But what is important does not change;
your strength and your conviction does not have age.
Your spirit is with glue of any spider.
Behind every finish line is a line of departure.
Behind every success there is another disappointment.
long as you're alive, feel alive.
If you miss what you were doing, go do it. Do not live in yellowed photos ... even if you insist they expect dropouts.
not let it rust the iron in which there is `you.
Make sure that instead of compassion, take you over.
When the years because you can not run, walk veloce.Quando you can not walk fast, walk.
When you can not walk, use the stick.
