ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE

ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE
ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE

Feminist objectives are possible and have been achieved all around the world.  Martha Burk, Ph.D., author of Your Voice, Your Vote, money editor for Ms Magazine, lists what is achievable:

* “I wish to live in a country like Norway, Spain, Germany and 13 others that have subsidized childcare. I wish to live in a country like Estonia, Sweden, Croatia and 38 others that have paid family leave.

* “I wish to live in a country like Britain, France, Israel, Belgium and Iceland, that have free and universal pre-kindergarten. I wish to be in a country like Liberia, Rwanda and South Africa, where people who are not white don’t have to fear law enforcement.

* “I wish to live in a country like Iceland, the Bahamas and Latvia, where women are closest to men in economic empowerment.

* “I wish to live in a country like France, Denmark, Italy and Canada that spend more on social services than they spend on military weaponry.

* “I wish to live in a country like Japan, India and Venezuela where parents don’t have to worry about their kids getting shot at school.

* “I wish to live in a country like Finland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, India, Germany, the Philippines, Norway, Ireland, Iceland and Bangladesh, where women are often heads of state.

* “I wish to live in a country like Austrailia, Argentina, Canada, China, Russia, Sweden and Greenland, where abortion is legal, safe and accessible.

* “I wish that the country I so wish to live in with all of these things would be the United States.”
