¿Como puede una mujer lograr sus derechos?



Hola guerreras del mundo!



Quiero compartir con ustedes la historia de una amiga que esta ganando un lugar en mi corazón, Luz como le llamare porque siento que es una luz pequeña que necesita fuerza para no apagarse. Tomo la decisión de formar un hogar siendo menor de edad y apenas cursando el básico en sus estudios. Aunque opto por un método anticonceptivo para continuar con sus estudios, al poco tiempo se entero que una nueva mujercita venia a su familia y tuvo que abandonar las clases para dedicarse de lleno a su niña.
Yo comparto con ella dando clases de computación inicio aprendiendo como encender la computadora, luego word, power point y ahora ha creado su correo electrónico, además de aprender a buscar información en los cuidados básicos para su bebe, entre otras cosas en el gran mundo de internet.
Sin embargo su mirada es vacía como la de muchas mujeres de mi pueblo porque por una decisión inmadura, o por huir del maltrato de la casa buscan la solución formando un hogar para lo que muchas veces no están preparadas y donde encuentran un escenario distinto al que imaginaban. El caso es que ella quiere sobresalir, estudiar, aprender, prepararse pero tiene a su lado el típico machista que con palabras muy amables le dice que no es capaz, que puede pasar algo, que no se arriesgue, que debe cuidar a su hija, que si quiere ir algún lado debe llevarse a la bebe porque el esta muy ocupado en su bufet porque es abogado y en los tiempos libres organiza partidos de fut bol y siempre tienen algo que hacer como para dedicar un tiempo al cuidado de la niña, siempre le dice que para eso esta ella en la casa, mi amiga puede visitar a su familia una vez a la semana nada mas. y para salir aunque sea a las compras del mercado debe contar con su permiso de lo contrario le espera en la casa un gran sermón.
Del porque escribo esto tan detallado? porque no imagino mi vida de esta manera, seria una gran frustración querer hacer algo para sobresalir y no poder hacerlo porque no me dan permiso, y quiero ayudar quiero ayudar a mi amiga y a tantas mujeres que pasan por esta situación pero que cuando tratan de iniciar una platica con su pareja para expresar lo que no le gusta o para ponerse de acuerdo y ayudarse el, la ignora como que no existiera y las cosas siguen su curso normal como que nada sucediera.
¿como puedo ayudar? a las mujeres a reclamar sus derechos, a ser libres para superarse porque el que una mujer sea profesional o quiera serlo, no significa que sea una mala madre, o una mala esposa o que sea una mala mujer.
pero lamentablemente en muchas mentes cerradas de hombres machistas la mujer pareciera que es un objeto mas de la casa y que no tiene sentimientos :(
No puedo imaginar y no quisiera para mi hija de tan solo 1 año de edad este ambiente donde no puede ser libre y sobresalir porque solo el hombre tiene derecho .
Aunque reconozco que hay buenos hombres con muy buenos sentimientos, se que aun queda mucho por hacer porque hay muchas mujeres aun sufriendo esta realidad y que su baja autoestima no les a se ayuda a tomar el riesgo y aprovechar los años de energía para lograr lo que sueñan.

How can a woman achieve her rights?



Hello Warriors of the world!



I want to share with you the story of a friend that is earning a place in my heart, Luz as I would call her because I feel that she is a small light that needs strength to not turn off. She took the decision of having a family being an underage and barely taking the basics in her studies. Even though she opted for a birth control method to continue with her studies, a little time later she found out that a new little woman will be part of her family and she had to abandon the classes to be with her girl full time.



I spend time with her giving computer classes. She started learning how to turn on the computer, then word, power point and now she has created her email, in addition to how to search information in the baby’s basic care, among other things in the great internet world.



However her look is empty just like the many women of my town because due to an immature decision, or for running away from abuse from the home they look for a solution having a family which many times they are not ready for and where they find a different picture to what they imagined. The point is that she wants to excel, to study, to learn, to get ready but she has next to her the typical macho man that with very gentle words tells her that she is not capable of, that something can happen, to not take risks, that she must care for her daughter, that if she wants to go anywhere she must take the baby with her because he is very busy at this job because he is a lawyer and in the free time he organizes soccer games and always has something to do instead of spending time caring for the girl, he always says that for that purpose she is home, my friend can only visit her family once a week. And even to go out grocery shopping she must have his approval else he awaits for her at the house with a great speech.



Why do I write this so detailed? Because I do not imagine my life that way, it would be a great frustration to want to do something to excel and to not be able to do it because I do not get the approval, and I want to help my friend and so many women that go through this situation but when they try to start this conversation with their partner to express what they do not like or to achieve an agreement and help each other, he ignores her as if she did not exist and things continue as normal as if nothing happened.



How can I help? Women to claim their rights, to be free to excel because the fact that a women is professional or want to be one, does not mean that she is a bad mother, or a bad wife or a bad women. But unfortunately in many closed minds of macho men, women appears to be another object of the house and who has no feelings :(
I cannot imagine it and I would not want this for my daughter who is only 1 year old this environment where she cannot be free and excel because only the men have rights.



Even though I recognize that there are good men with very good feeling, I know that there is still a lot to do because there are many women still suffering this reality and their low self-esteem does not help them take risks and take advantage of the energy years to achieve what they dream.
