"The achievement of equal opportunities for women is not only important for me as president. It 's something I care deeply as a father of two daughters, who wants to see her girls grow up in a world where there are no limits to what they want to pursue. " Barack Obama said yesterday in his weekly speech to the nation on the occasion of "Women's History Month" in which, in the U.S., the growing number of events aimed at strengthening and advancement of women.
A few facts and many rumors. The list of initiatives taken by this administration to further reduce the gap between men and women is long and goes hand in hand with other significant actions such as putting up against the giant Wal-Mart, pulled in the largest class action in history, for putting in place policies that discriminate against women workers.
And if we persist in the illusion that our country is different, then better not read or hear the proceedings of the Summit "World in the World" that ended yesterday in New York and organized by the group Newsweek and Daily Beast. Among the many sessions of debate that saw the hosts representatives of many countries in the struggle for the affirmation of women's rights, the only European country to have the "honor" to the "single issue" was just Italy, where the status of women makes one shudder, sadden and worry.
Sitting in that theater, where he alternated the women in Afghanistan, Iranian, Somali, Egyptian, Chinese, admired for their efforts by the likes of Madeleine Albright, Meryl Streep, Condolezza Rice and Hillary Clinton, I felt a strong discomfort in listening to Emma Bonino, who gave a perfect picture of the Italian situation, for once in accordance with my thoughts, and absolutely amazed at hearing the comments of women.
And when Hillary Clinton, in an important speech on the status of women in war-torn countries, said that often has to remind herself that the road to the assertion of their rights is long and winding road, I wondered how long it will be the our when, one day, finally decides to roll up our sleeves and go to fight in a concrete way to be what we deserve to be, women who apply.
Persist in the stubborn belief that what happens in Italy is similar to what happens in other advanced countries is a suicide to look for individual episodes that happen in other countries as well, but they are addressed and resolved, to prove once again that "all The world is country "is irresponsible and an act of profound superficiality that will weigh on the long future of women.
In a country where one side is Binetti Carfagna and the other is difficult to have hope. In a country where there is Palin, panzers destroying the dignity of women, and Clinton or Rice is undoubtedly the most hope. There 's been a long time in my life where I'm not interested in these subjects.
Living in my family had I not allowed to have contact with discrimination. My father, without being a president, he often repeated what Obama said yesterday about his daughters. My father taught me to be a person, as such to my brother, though different. Different but equal. E 'was out to teach the world the injustice.
Thus, today, I want to wish my father a happy birthday more than usual. For all that I owe him.
