Introducing myself and my journal: Life within a woman's heart.

About Me:
I have been familar with World Pulse since it first made its online appearance. I was excited to see an organization that focused on the needs of women worldwide. I am slow to the task. I am a trained journalist, now freelancer, as well as former human services worker. I think the two areas fit neatly together. I have also worked in US and international not-for-profit organizations. I am also a Christian who believes that demonstrating advocacy for women who suffer oppression in the world is more than just a wish. I have a lot to learn about the complicated systems in which women are born into. But through the information, resources and stories provided by World Pulse, I believe that I can learn and grow in my understanding as well as discover the best way that I can be advocate.
My Passions:
Writing, reading, womens' dignity and respect, classical music, my Lord Jesus Christ, my family
My Challenges:
Learning about world issues concerning women and courage to write and speak truth.
My Vision for the Future:
Relevant writing that promotes positive change for women in the world.
My Areas of Expertise:
impact of sexual abuse on womens' self perception.

Thanks for your welcome, Fatima
I've been negligent in thanking you for your welcome. I hope you are still out there. I read your post from last fall about Saudi women being granted the right to vote. My husband and I are hosting a Saudi male college-age student and I have gotten to hear alot about what women can and cannot do in Saudi Arabia. I was pleased to hear that they have righting votes. I also agree with one of the women who commented on your post that the right doesn't always guarentee the reality. I hope in this case it does.
