Today, in the 21st Century, in a pluralistic world, the different societies on planet Earth bring together what is traditional and what is not. Capitalism considers the society as a whole. In view of this, this century’s diseases are loneliness and individualism. New technologies do not take into account the daily life of human beings. And if women continue to be treated like objects, what is civilisation?

In our societies, women play an original role, and a woman should not be considered a man. They should be respected, with their political, social and economic difference. Through the history of the world, women of all ages have assumed their role and today, we tend to forget the progress made, as machismo remains high. However, awareness-raising is growing and women have proved their capacities in political commitments, despite numerous difficulties. Shouldn’t it be natural and possible to respect everyone’s rights, for every human being?

Because they are fully-fledged human beings, shouldn’t women have the same rights?

WORKERS OF THE WORLD

I want to sing a new song of joy
At dawn that day of arrival in our land!
With my people celebrate the dawn
My people set free!
Fighting has not been in vain …

Christian songbook of Brazil

Today we live in a divided world

 Widespread hatreds divide countries, continents, social classes, trade unionism, politics, cause the criminalization of social movements.

These situations lead to revolt and despair. Workers see with limited reaction the loss of their fundamental rights: wages, health, education, land, housing and work, as it has been evidenced in the two meetings of Pope Francis with leaders of social movements including WMCW-World Movement of Christian Workers, held at the Vatican and later in Bolivia, where he visited the countries of South America.
