This have ranged from domestic violence, sex slavery and trafficking, inequality in political representation, poverty (due to adverse climate change), war and conflicts. The women folk have seen its crises metamorphosing from one generation to the other; this have brought about some “divide and rule system” of gender governance. Hence the need for the creation of a womenandcrises blogspot that relate women and girls issue to the public through the various crises she faces in the contemporary world. Also, this blogspot sees women as equal as the mankind and seeks to eliminate all dark areas that negate women’s empowerment in the society through active participation in fighting against gender – based violence, promoting sound environmental policies through negating the effect of climate change and agro ecological problems and other issues.
