NATO - International Women's Day 2010

Women's Day 2010. NATO promotes the role of women in peace and security

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen recently said that greater empowerment and more effective protection of women against the dangers of armed conflicts benefits everyone, not only women. This 8 March, NATO is marking International Womens Day by bringing prominent NATO women back to school to encourage more future female leaders to take part in building peace and security.

The programme NATO Women Back to School! is sending female NATO staff members back to the schools and universities where they earned their degrees to present themselves, their work, the role of NATO and how they are taking part in international security. The aim is to show students in all 28 NATO member countries how women contribute to security and defence.

At the same time, the relationship between these NATO speakers and their home schools should also help students to understand how security concerns everyone, and how NATO contributes to their own personal security every day.

The Alliance would like to encourage a wider discussion on women in conflict prevention, crisis management and conflict resolution, particularly by highlighting the UN security council resolution 1325 on women, peace and security, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary in October 2010

A long path, still a lot more is needed.

We just need to take a day at a time and work on our inner selves to become better people ... peace, light, love and courage!

Have we got a day for men?

Thought not.

This IS a gender splitting agenda, but also is designed to CONTROL POPULATION.

'Empowering women' is openly talked about by 'green groups' as a way of REDUCING POPULATION - go look for yourselves.

They don't want you to have babies!

Thank you - in honor and fond memory of My 1st DCO - who as a student, was once known as Dwight David Eisenhower, inserving since 1959, promoting peace through education.
