WOMEN RIGHTS


As women gain rights, families flourish, and so do societies. That connection is built on a simple truth: Whenever you include a group that’s been excluded, you benefit everyone. And when you’re working globally to include women and girls, who are half of every population, you’re working to benefit all members of every community. Gender equity lifts everyone.

From high rates of education, employment, and economic growth to low rates of teen births, domestic violence, and crime—the inclusion and elevation of women correlate with the signs of a healthy society. Women’s rights and society’s health and wealth rise together. Countries that are dominated by men suffer not only because they don’t use the talent of their women but because they are run by men who have a need to exclude. Until they change their leadership or the views of their leaders, those countries will not flourish.

Understanding this link between women’s empowerment and the wealth and health of societies is crucial for humanity. As much as any insight we’ve gained in our work over the past twenty years, this was our huge missed idea. My huge missed idea. If you want to lift up humanity, empower women. It is the most comprehensive, pervasive, high-leverage investment you can make in human beings.

Harry Potter : Why didn't he die when Voldemort tried to kill him in  "The Forbidden Forest" It is still quite mysterious how Harry Potter survived the unforgivable spell 'Avada Kedavra'.The very first time Voldemort tried to kill him, he was a baby. Harry's mother Lily Potter , had filled him with so much love that the spell rebounded and hit Voldemort, but as he had made the many horcruxes before , he didn't die, in fact his soul split and latched itself to the only living thing in the room , Harry himself, hence he became the horcrux Voldemort never knew or never meant to make . This comes to play later, during the last battle of Hogwarts when Harry willingly went to Voldemort to die in the forbidden forest and protect everyone else ,Voldemort had harry's blood in his body when he was resurrected in the fourth book , The "Goblet of Fire" . So, we can say that , it was either Harry's blood present in Voldemort which still had his mother

  PEBBLE TRANSFORMATION A rock, a large piece of rock weathers off a cliff and dives deep into a pool of gushing water. Back washed, It journeys roughly and knocks of other rocks, smashing through the waves as it loses itself in scattered pieces except for its core. That core travels far and wide, it coarsely gets ground by gravel pieces smaller than itself and bullied by boulders all of which it bears up as it withstands the pressure of a distant journey off the shore. At some point, it gets dry and it encounters mud, it gets smeared dirty but the mud doesn't stick, the rain washes of the mud and it rolls off into the sand. It dances in the sand and dives into the bottom of the waves. Rising like a phoenix through the ashes, it emerges polished, looking more beautiful than it did when it got edged of the cliff. It rises a pebble, smooth and sleek. Coveted by rocks starting their dive.  To be a pebble you have to run the turbulent tidal race. Nature is inspired and created by natur
