How does a Greenstar program advance womens rights in developing countries?
Providing the means to achieve independence for women is an undeniable good; it is a primary goal in the transformation of any community. The question is…how to achieve this goal in developing countries? The obvious answers are not always the best. The quickest fixes, the kind we often seek to apply in Western culture, could even slow down the process in other cultures. We need to be smart, and patient. We need to listen, with more than our ears. Our hearts need to be in the loop, too. For more discussion of this issue, see: http://www.e-greenstar.
