Can't see the wood for the trees.
Sometimes I feel we are fighting a losing battle, then I remember the battle is being fought on many fronts across the world and by so many women. When you see it as whole, it's amazing. Here's a thread on why we will win.
We will win because...
We are the women who lunch
We are the dinosaurs dancing through the streets
We are the stickers and ribbons brigade
We fund the legal battles
There are so many organisations around the world and amazing women. I gave a few examples of each category. There are many I missed but I tried to cover the many countries to show we are not isolated but a massive family. Please add your favourites.
