About

Women’s Rights are the foundation of Human Rights. Cultures that repress women are almost uniformly impoverished, non-democratic and subject to disease, famine and war.

The most effective way to repress women is to withhold education. The UN estimates that by 2015, over 215 million girls, worldwide, will be illiterate.

As young girls are marginalized or sold as slaves and prostitutes, the avenue to peace is obliterated for it is women who prize education and peace. It is they who when empowered, inculcate those goals in their own children and who, when repressed, simply bear children and die young. In many countries, women are subjugated to second place status. Whether it’s cultures in which men have the right to multiple wives, those in which women are stoned to death if accused of adultery or others where they’re not allowed to vote, the place to start redressing this is through the legal system and enforcement of law.

GOAL: The Power of Peace intends to publish a “Men’s Bill of Rights”. We will ask those countries we identify, to vote on this bill of rights which finally, will make men and women equal.

The Power of Peace Bill of Rights will give men the right to be stoned to death for adutlry. The bill of rights will place men on equal voting status with the women in their country. We will propose that men, like women, get paid less for doing the same job, get promoted less often and rise to fewer jobs in management. In certain countries, we‘ll propose that men not be allowed to drive alone, walk the streets alone and that they should be required to cover their hair and faces by wearing a Burkha. The Men's Bill of Rights will be submitted to the United Nations.

A Personal Tribute to Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela: Happy 92nd Birthday

nelson_mandela_586.jpg
I was not yet born when Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was sentenced to life imprisonment. I did not hear his name during my early childhood growing up under the apartheid regime. I was not sure why he was imprisoned in that tiny cell on Robben Island. And I did not know then, that one day, he would unequivocally be my hero. While I have not had the honor of meeting Nelson Mandela, he has been a powerful and real part of my life journey over the past 20 years. I am profoundly humbled by his capacity to forgive and deeply motivated by his spirit and strength.

MY HOPES AND DREAMS FOR THE NEW DECADE:

I dream of a world where children everywhere will put their heads on their pillow at night and not worry about food, shelter or abuse. I hope President Obama finds his footing, plants his feet on the ground and earns his Nobel Peace prize. I dream of forgiveness and reconciliation between Jews and Arabs, Israelis and Palestinians. I hope the day comes when we recognize that cultures that repress women are almost uniformly impoverished and subject to disease, famine and war.
