Women's rights have been a pivotal issue throughout history, shaping societies and influencing cultures across the globe. The fight for equality has evolved over the years, encompassing various aspects of life, including political representation, education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. Despite significant progress, many challenges remain, highlighting the ongoing need for advocacy and awareness. One of the fundamental aspects of women's rights is the right to education. Education empowers women, providing them with the knowledge and skills necessary to participate fully in society. It opens doors to better job opportunities and enables women to make informed decisions about their lives and families. However, in many parts of the world, girls still face barriers to education due to cultural norms, poverty, and violence. According to UNESCO, an estimated 130 million girls worldwide are out of school, which is a staggering figure that illustrates the scale of the proble...

As we celebrate this Christmas season, it’s essential to reflect on the true spirit of the holiday: love and unity. In a world that can often feel divided, let us take this opportunity to embrace one another, fostering connections that uplift rather than hurt. Life is too short to hold onto grudges or let negativity prevail.  This Christmas, let’s commit to treating each other with kindness and compassion. Every small act of love can create a ripple effect, inspiring others to do the same. Whether it’s a warm smile, a helping hand, or simply taking the time to listen, these gestures can make a significant difference in someone’s day.  As we gather with family and friends, let’s remember that we are all part of a larger community. Together, we can spread joy, understanding, and a sense of belonging. May this Christmas serve as a reminder to cherish our relationships and to strive for harmony in our lives. Let love guide us, not just during the holidays but throughout the entire...

  GUEST WRITER : Demetria Herman Banda (Writer & Constable)  Qualification- Degree in Journalism. “Why me?! Why!” A scream echoed in all directions of the neighbourhood. People wondered, babies cried, birds ran.  “Who could that be?” asked Mrs Bulea. Nobody dared to recognise my voice. It was a voice of a heart broken woman. A voice of sadness. It expressed hatred. In no time the voice came through the walls again. It was me, the respected single lady. I couldn’t help it but rent in sadness’ peace less house. Mrs Bulea, the neighbourhood’s all time gossiper, made a good guess of my voice. Thanks to her eardrums. “That must be Delia,” she guessed to fellow women who were having a women gathering.

   The door was still closed and nobody knew what was happening inside the house. After knocking on the main door several times, Cheulanda the gate man stood facing the door whilst pondering the next move. It simply was not normal that neither his boss nor the house maid could hear the knock. He had been knocking on the door for thirty minutes but to no avail. The time was already past 1:30 in the afternoon, usually, he would have finished his lunch by this time. He had to act fast as he was famished.  The two had not come out of the house since the previous evening when they had gone to sleep. They always wake up at around 7 am every day except on weekends.

Why are they not opening the door?” wondered Cheulanda.   Suddenly, he had an idea to break the door. He then quickly picked a huge stone and threw it at the door. Bang! The door shook, but did not yi...
