And whilst I'm at it... Rosa

On a positive note.

Have a look at this... Rosa


From the Rosa site:

"Rosa is a charitable fund set up to support initiatives that benefit women and girls in the UK. Because, while many women and girls here do enjoy freedom of choice and the opportunity for success in their lives, that’s simply not true for all. Our vision is of equality and justice for all women and girls in the UK."

"Women aren’t short of ideas to help create positive change in their lives, but they are often short of the money needed to turn those ideas into reality. That’s why Rosa was launched in 2008 – to help raise more money for women’s projects and organisations."

I'm of an age to remember the rise of feminism in 60s, 70s and 80s. I remember when legislation to stop sex discrimination was brought in and legislation for equal pay.

Sadly, although much was done; much has been done, I see sexism and discrimination against women on the rise. They never went away and it's as bad as it's ever been in my memory (and I'm no spring chicken..)

Girls and women: we're not second class citizens, we're not cheap labour, we're not bottom of the scrap heap, we shouldn't be paid less than a man for work of equal value and we should not be treated as 'less than'

Hence Rosa is another site I think is worthwhile to visit and support.
