She’s of Grit, Grace & Glamour; A shooting star! Comes from miles across as a blessing to earth & family. She is woman! Wish you a Wonderful Woman’s Day!

SUN’S  STAR

you become traces

of legendary heroines,

rekindle freedom.

you are a big tank

of powerful decision makers,

execute truth.

you, who veil inspiration to the warrior’s head,

she, woman under the sun,

be the defender

of birthing stars.

The Gradual Death of Vulnerable Afghan Women

The rights of women are high in the world, it is said,

but this privilege is mere words.

Women do not possess their own rights,

be it in the past or present, it is apparent.

To restore women’s rights, they all talk,

but except to win status, they take no actions.

 

O Afghan woman, strive to win your own rights!

Seek knowledge and be aware of your rights.

If you do not win your rights, who will give them to you?

How long will you be vulnerable? Fight for your rights!

A gradual death has given you this day.

If you want to be rescued, then be a fighter and fear nothing.

(Alaha) is the defender of the deprived Afghan women and their rights.

We share the pain of the women of the world.

WORKING FOR WOMEN

Working for women
is many times a scuffle
against the own mates
for wages or positions
in a sort of battlefield.

Equality means
that no one is superior
or deserves pover
for a specific sex,
but for a proven value.

The real feminism
doesn’t intends to destroy
men nor systems,
just a lasting injustice
oppressing the times and minds.

(Trabajar para las mujeres
es muchas veces una pelea
contra los propios compañeros
por salarios o puestos
en una especie de campo de batalla.

La igualdad significa
que nadie es superior
o merece poder
por un sexo concreto,
sino por su probada valía.

El auténtico feminismo
no pretende destruir
hombres ni sistemas,
sólo una injusticia duradera
que oprime los tiempos y las mentes.)

World Poetry Canada International Peace Festival 2013 Winners!

 

 

 

Ariadne’s Note:

It is  with great pleasure that we announce the award winners for the World Poetry Canada International Peace Festival 2013.

Each entry was nominated by one or more people, and went through a background check. The awards are based on humanitarian and peace efforts to make the world a better place.

Many of the award winners are youth. They show a wonderful commitment for peace and the respect of others. Each award winner has sacrificed to promote peace and understanding and in some instances  have shown great courage in the face of adversity.

For the first time ever, we had 10 film, doc entries. With help from our community parter Cinevolution, we were able to include the film award winners this year. The two films will be shown during the peace festival.

Please welcome the World Poetry Canada International Peace Festival 2013 Award Winners:
