Women are a source of life.
Their exclusion from a large number of activity fields is a loss for the humankind.
The lack of balance between man and woman deprives our society of the potential to develop and go beyond today's limits.
Women and men are essential one another. Their only way to build a better world is to collaborate and sustain each other.
The link below is about an article that shows the consequences of gender exclusion from peace deals and peacekeeping missions. The article points out how the exclusion affects also those organizations which are supposed to have a strong commitment to this cause.

I have red the article about the women involvement in the protection of human rights and I’ve founded it really interesting. I agree especially with this statement: ”… in local settings women took a broader view of peace that included basic rights […] In contrast, man have a greater tendency to associate peace with the absence of formal conflict and the stability of formal structures such as governance and infrastructure”. In this regard, I would like to share with you the fascinating and struggled story of Aung San Suu Kyi, a Burmese opposition politician. She could be considered as one of the symbol of “FemininEnergy”: she has been fighting for the respect of the fundamental human rights in Burma, which is under military dictatorship. Since the foundation of the National League for Democracy in 1988, San Suu Kyi has passed through several condemnations, house arrests and even hard labour. In the hope of being heared by the Burma regime and by the international community, she committed hunger strike. Finally, the international community noticed her: San Suu Kyi was invested with the Nobel Prize for peace in 1991 and in 2008 the United States Congress conferred her the honor medal. The Burma Regime couldn’t relate anymore with her only through intimidation: in November 2010 Aung San Suu Kyi obtained freedom and the first of April 2012 she got one parliamentary seat through elections.
