Women form the majority living in poverty,

although they comprise 51% of people in the world.

Ideas taken from African Proverbs

Sotho diaspora South Africa’s official languages, “Mosadi o tshwara thipa ka bogaleng”, which loosely translates to “a woman holds the knife at the sharp end”. Given the hardships that women and girls have to face in their lifetime - everything from period, poverty, and gender-based violence, to higher levels of unemployment and the burden of unpaid care work - such an idiom could not be more fitting.


isiZulu saying, “Izandla ziyagezana” meaning “hands wash each other”, we know that we are here, on this planet, to help each other, and build each other up.


There’s many ways to say it: “Motho ke motho ka batho” in seSotho, or “Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu” in isiZulu — this phrase roughly translates to “A person is a person because of other people”, or "I am, because you are." This proverb is the bedrock of South Africa’s society, which is rooted in community.


Africans have the spirit of Ubuntu without having to try, it is part of who we have always been, and the acknowledgement of the fact that we are a product of each other’s actions and decisions. Ubuntu is a reflection of what it takes to live in true unity, and explores what it means to work, live, and thrive together.

"𝑨 𝒘𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒈𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒏; 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒉𝒖𝒔𝒃𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒕.”
–African Proverb

🌼

Women are gifted in being home makers, keeping some African adages and meanings. Which one would you select to describe yourself in your village or town?

Women often face challenges organizing themselves in communities, fighting domestic violence, child abuse, unemployment, HIV/AIDS or gender discrimination, poverty, working through church groups, welfare organizations, international, local or similar.


1️⃣ Are we assisting to defend our rights, equity, defeating poverty or sitting on the sidelines, supporting each other, and how?


~ 𝐀𝐍𝐃 / 𝐎𝐑 ~

2️⃣ Do we keep contact with other women regularly, checking in if they require any assistance, sharing burdens between each other, and how?

Good luck Ladies!!!
Make sure you read over the rules again, and bear in mind the importance of sourcing your images or quotes, and may the greatest imagination win!

Seven suggestions (reminders) to consider:

Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
Use your active key only for wallet transactions, Keychain, Peaklock, and Hivesigner
The Master Password and the Owner key are only used to reset compromised passwords,
DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own.
An introduceyourself tag is used only once , and
Do Not open any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.

Buena suerte chicas!!!
Asegúrese de leer las reglas nuevamente y tenga en cuenta la importancia de dar atribución a sus imágenes o citas, y que gane la mayor imaginación!

Siete sugerencias (recordatorios) a considerar:

Proteja sus contraseñas con cuidado y solo publique con la clave de publicación,
Use su clave activa solo para transacciones de billetera, llavero, Peaklock y Hivesigner,
La contraseña del propietario solo se usa para restablecer contraseñas comprometidas,
NO pierda sus contraseñas; copiar y almacenar sin conexión,
No publique el trabajo de otras personas, ya sea fotos o escrito, sin crédito,
asegúrese de obtener todo su trabajo, incluso si es suyo.
Una etiqueta de presentación solo se usa una vez, y
Hacer NO abrir cualquier enlace en notas o comentarios que no sepa a quién pertenecen. Si suena demasiado bueno para ser verdad, probablemente lo sea, así dice el viejo dicho. No hay nada gratis aquí.

African women are hard working, I am always fan of their hard work. Poverty is due to less literacy rate and corrupt political system. I am hopeful, one day African women also will shine in the shade of developed nations. It is Wonderful contest indeed. I shall like to pen my words for these questions as much as I can. Ladies of Hive Community are superb!

1️⃣ ¿Estamos ayudando a defender nuestros derechos, la equidad, venciendo la pobreza o quedando al margen, apoyándonos unos a otros, y cómo?

~ 𝐀𝐍𝐃 / 𝐎𝐑 ~

2️⃣ ¿Nos mantenemos en contacto con otras mujeres regularmente, comprobando si necesitan ayuda, compartiendo cargas entre nosotras y cómo?

Me gusta la segunda pregunta, muy interesante.
