We were afraid . Ines talked so when we talked about the situation of women. How could it be so, when women did test of strength and courage every day? For from the dawn, the women we deal with poverty for food for our son and our family as well. Every day, we handle all the household chores in addition work abroad: in the field, in offices, factories, health centers and many more jobs. Sometimes we also studied.
Fear? What? Why? We are afraid of many things and always in the background because we have gotten the idea that because women have little value. Because we have been taught that being born female is less born male, because they are more. Stronger, smarter, faster, more skilful. Many times, girls could not go to school, learn to read, write and speak Castilian. At 5 or 6 years, many had to help our mothers in household chores, so that when the brothers and father back all ready. How many times have we heard "Why do you want to go to school if you're getting married?", "The school is not important, it will grind flour."
now know that we have rights, but our parents did not know. And know that we have rights that are no less for being female is the first step to end the fear.
Fear? What?. Why? We are afraid of many things and always because basically we know that by being women we have little value. Born a woman is, in part, be less, because more men than us. Stronger, smarter, faster, more skilled. Sometimes girls can not go to school, learn to read, write and speak Castilian. At 5 or 6 years, many had to help our mothers in household chores, so that when brothers and father back everything will be ready. How many times have we heard "why you want to go to school if you get married? "" School is not important, will grind the flour. ""
Today we know that we have rights, but our parents do not know. And that we have rights, that WE ARE NOT LEAST by being a woman is the first step to end the fear.
