How To Make Animated Cat Ears

The 09/09/2009 went on television images of a rose that changes color from black, clears and turns white. This is the symbol that the media had chosen for the day of "violence to women", launching the invitation to all women to wear something white. I think a day dedicated to this subject at present have a deep meaning and sadly is an important occasion to warn women to remind everyone how far should still be to achieve full gender equality.

I know that the general perception is that the problem has long since passed and resolved, yet it is
a few weeks ago the story of Hussein, the Sudanese journalist risked 40 lashes for having committed a serious crime to wear trousers in public places.
little attention was given to his courageous refusal to pay the fine imposed by agreeing to serve one month in prison, while not bending the law who had suffered discrimination.

But let me worry is not so much news coming from the Middle East, where it is known that the battle for the emancipation of women is still to be played. Via a process of 'changing every day goes against the literal interpretation of religion and power consolidation. Alarming signals from the same Western world from "home". Sometimes obvious differences in pay, bullying, stalking ; are subliminal and sometimes we even realize it.

If you take a picture of the Italian Parliament we can easily realize the difficulty for a woman to make his entry into politics, than it was thought to be "man".

An example is the United States, and precision, the heart of the most democratic and tolerant of the U.S., the Democratic Party. Over the last primaries have faced, in one of the most combative and compelling electoral competitions, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Both samples of two slices of the population in different ways have experienced discrimination in the past, and certainly much smaller extent, still live in the present.

During the campaign, none of the Republicans chose to pull the racism in the game as a strength in his contest against Barack Obhama, and the challenge took place at the political level, the ideas and values, even if, as in any country that respects itself, gossip and low blows are not missed and fair play has remained a mirage.

Racism is no longer accepted in the United States and, of course, a joke about the candidate's skin color would raise scandal, embarrassment, and, above all, did lose several percentage points in polls. No one would permission, no one even dreamed it would, unless it had been determined to commit one of the most serious strategic mistakes as possible.

same can not be said of the campaign against Hillary, based instead on attacks sexist and vulgar, who represented it as the home of the White House, fragile woman commander in chief of the army. A concept unacceptable to people who make the weapons its flag of freedom.

This makes me think.
Perhaps most progress has been made in the fight against racism than for gender equality.
Certainly there is still much to do.
But the achievements in other fields of human rights, such as combating racism, that President Obama embodies to perfection, and the passion and force with which Hillary Clinton led the battle makes me think, to hope that much progress will be made in the coming years.
