Empowering the Woman Within - Contest

`sbaraci:iconsbaraci: reports, February 20, 2008


We are princesses. We are nurses and doctors on demand. We are up all night when our lil one is sick, kissing them and making them all better. We are 5 star chefs preparing all family meals. We are nutritionists. We are fashion experts. We are counsellors and psychologists. We listen to our children and partners when they confide in us. We are thinkers. We are finance experts. We drive multibillion dollar economies. We are mothers. We are women. We have it in our power to move and change the world.

However sadly many of us are still undereducated, underprivileged, underpaid and abused throughout their lifetime. We constantly get put down in the world that is still trying to learn that we are equal to men. We still elect men to tell us what we can do and what we cannot. There is a relatively small percentage of women managers, not even to speak of the CEOs. There is a number of women being killed every year for having insufficient dowries, lots of women in undeveloped countries are getting their genitals forcibly mutilated, many women are forced at extremely young age into marriage with older men. We still live in society where female children are aborted and abandoned for being of not preferred sex. We get blamed by men for shortage of skilled labour; we get blamed for having children, then for not having enough children.

Its time to change this. Its time to create and empower us. Its time to change the world, and to show to girls and women that there is shining light on the end of the tunnel.

With this said I would like to invite everyone to participate in the new contest covering ALL GALLERIES with the theme “Empowering the Woman Within” This contest will be concluded as a part of the International Women’s Week on Deviant Art, and celebration of the United Nations sponsored event of 8th of March.

We would like the community to explore the theme through their artwork, not being limited by the media.

How can you do this? What about the men who are raising children and living in poverty because a woman took everything we had and left us with a child? Where's OUR fund? Where's an 'I appreciate men who care' award? I would sure like one, while the mother of my child is off partying and I'm working at a grocery store to put food on the table. The only thing any woman has done for me is to put my life in the gutter after I gave her everything in my heart and my bank account.

We appreciate and admire greatly the men who can do a womans job when the women herself isn't involved/present/active.

There's always a contest for a certain genre or category. If everyone had their way It'd be a massive contest which would get millions of entries and practically impossible to judge.

One image that could be submitted could be a man empowering his loved one to achieve her dreams, this article isn't forgetting the men its just focusing on the women.

I'm sorry the mother of your child isn't supportive and wish you well in looking after your kid and yourself :hug:

Don't look at me with that tone of voice it smells a funny colour
