Empowering women in developing countries | Jennifer Lonergan | TEDxMontrealWomen

[@mommonyratana4685]

I am from a developing country (Cambodia), and the story is really heart-touching, in fact many women in my country experiences similar thing as Florence whom you have mentioned in your story too. A splendid speech on women empowerment. Keep up the good work.

+Sandra Jones Thank you for your kind words and support!

[@daisynovoavasquez7286]

I loved your talk, and of course the product of your work. As you said, we need to DARE to care.... You were brave; we need more brave women and people in this world willing to help others ,and more importantly willing to be kind to themselves and able to revive their own souls. You did that by redirecting your life through a purposeful and meaningful path. Just by touching one person and not given up on her/him we can make a difference, and I think you have already done so. Keep up the great work. Very inspiring talk!

This stinks of propaganda. How many young boys and young men have to perform menial chores in Africa? I don't believe this woman's story that it is just women who suffer in third world countries. Far too one sided.

[@raymondhartmeijer9300]

That's not the point, ofc young boys have to labour for the family too, it's the culture within the communities that predestine women to marry, not have an education, reproduce and basically never have a say in the course of their own life. It's the rude inequality that produces more suffering than needed

[@johnbuggy9121]

@@raymondhartmeijer9300 How many boys in impoverished communites receive an education? How many are pre-destinted to marry? How many have a say in the course of their own lives? You're looking at poverty in the third world through the pampered (and feminised) eyes of a western progressive.

Main source of empowerment - is financial independence + having at least a small pistol with ammos. While others is just liberal blah-blah-blah talks.
