The victims and loved ones need to be honored by memorializing what happened as a first step. Women need to support eachother around the world to educate others as well as reach for fogivness and transcend this brutal killing. Moving forward does not assist the individual in healing. Scar tissue in the body creates a hardness of tissue that you can feel for years and possibly does not go away. Trees create a solid mesh in the crooks of trees when a branch has been compromised by weight of snow or heavy winds, thus making the tree stronger in the area of the wound. Just so emotional scars of war and loss may make for stronger spirits. Through forgiveness and living the scars may turn to beautiful etchings on the individual souls. Please continue to work on world peace by sharing you work.

Lo que haces es asombroso!!
I’m Ingrid from Perú, you just make me realized about the world situation and that in minimal ways every culture is special. Is so great that you and other women in the mid east are helping women there. You know society there (and in my country) used to be male chauvinist so they put away women ideas because they know women are as much intelliget as they are. Women aren’t treated like they deserve. Men always try to make us feel unconfortable because they are scare of our possibilities to succeed in life, since we are better than them, so they shut up us down, but we should raise our voice even louder, because we deserve the same opportunities.And that’s what you and women of “In Women’s Hands” do. As my friend Stephanie Rudat told me, we shouldn’t ever give up.
You are amazing

Shelley extolled the higher power of poetic insight in his famous “Defense of Poetry”:

What were virtue, love, patriotism, friendship—what were the scenery of this beautiful universe which we inhabit; what were our consolations on this side of the grave—and what were our aspirations beyond it, if poetry did not ascend to bring light and fire from those eternal regions where the owl-winged faculty of calculation dare not ever soar?

Shelley was of course married to Mary Woolstonecraft, so it sort of fits.

[...] Women’s active participation steadily made headline news (well, almost) during Egypt’s revolution, and women such as Mona Eltahawy were absolutely inspiring and enthusiastic advocates for Muslim women as Egypt’s revolution unfolded. In late January, Mona vociferously challenged the mainstream media’s coverage of Egypt’s nonviolent movements, particularly how the word “chaos” was being used to describe the historic events led by ordinary Egyptians. She urged the U.S. and Western countries to “take the side of the people of Egypt.” And weeks later, Mona debated other women around France’s recent ban on the niqab and burqa in public spaces — a debate that women, not policy makers, must lead.
