INDIGENOUS PEOPLES - THE ROLE OF OF CULTURE IN AREAS OF CONFLICT

THE FUTURE OF OUR WORLD HANGING IN THE BALANCE

 

Every mother is in fact a 'single-mother', raising the children alone 0-7 of age. Raising the boys to believe that they can not 'take care' of babies/children. Raising the girls to believe that they can, alone.....

 

Within every mother/woman  raised boy (or girl too for that matter) in the world, there will be a dormant Saddam Hussein and Bill Clinton and others US leaders 2002 (woman raised 100%.).

 

Within every mother raised baby girl in the world, there will be another mother; 'single mother'....

 

The children's (babies') very basic human rights, the rights of the child, to be, in time counted, equally exposed to both parents, father and mother, from birth, are none. The childrens' right, to have that equal access, from birth is none. A crime against the whole humanity. All kids are 'kidnapped ' from birth, and that's why the males are killing each other (in wars e.g.) and women do not.

 

Legislation seems to be the only solution if not 'power of culture' can solve this traditional 'gender-war', the world will continue to suffer, the next millennium too.

 

Stolen children means forever stolen adults.
