March 8th, International Women's Day, is an important day for women around the world. It is a day of celebration, but it is also a day to remind us of the millions worldwide who continue to fight for justice, equality and peace.
On International Women's Day we are reminded of the millions of women who live in countries in crisis, at war, or in areas that have recently experienced natural disasters. Each day, these women fight to defend their basic rights, feed their children and help their families and communities to survive.
In August 2012, the story all over the news in Quebec was of Tanya St-Arnaud, a young woman whose boyfriend sprayed her with acid, burning her face, head and torso. In October, it was Malala Yousafzai's story circulating the globe: a young advocate for women and girl's education in Pakistan who was shot in the head and severely wounded. This young education activist, nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, was just causing too much trouble. At the end of December, a young student in India was raped by six men, dying two weeks later of her injuries. A few months from now, images from near and far will continue to remind us that women are still fighting for their rights, and that we can never give up.
Let's take the opportunity today to think of these women who live in countries where chaos - human or natural - reigns, robbing them of their basic rights. We must act on their behalf.
What can we do? By supporting organizations that place a special focus on empowering women and girls through their programming, you can help change the lives of women around the world. There are many such organizations; CARE is one of them. As Canadians we have the power to make a difference by uniting and supporting these organizations who know how to manage resources available to them and implement effective actions.
Did you know that every year, approximately 500,000 women die from pregnancy-related complications? That women produce half of the world's food, but own only one per cent of its farmland? That 76 percent of Africans who have HIV/AIDS are young women?
We have the power to help women around the world, and thus help to change the world. We know that by doing this, we not only enrich their lives but ours as well. These women are at the very core of our world's efforts to improve the global level of education, eliminate the spread of HIV, improve access to clean drinking water, increase financial opportunities and protect natural resources.
Let's act - immediately - and help women around the world.

Cardiff Central Youth Club could be saved from impending closure following interest from a private investor, it has been confirmed.
The youth club, based along Ocean Way in Splott, was due to close this June following councillors voting through a budget in February which estimated £200,000 worth of savings would be made by relocating the club to the new Eastern Leisure Centre.
CCYC is celebrated for its top class gym facilities – including a sprung floor and 896 square meters of space with £100,000 worth of equipment for gymnastics and freerunning groups to train to competitive standards.
Young people protested against its closure outside City Hall and submitted a petition to the executive – saying the new facilities due to be refurbished at Eastern Leisure Centre as part of the building of the controversial Llanrumney High School would not be up to standard.
The council opened up the running of CCYC to private investors and the deadline for expressions of interest was 15 April. Now Cardiff council has said one expression has been put forward.
A Cardiff council spokesperson said:
"To date the council has received one expression of interest and a second group has requested further information. We plan to write to all those who expressed an original interest to enquire if they still wish to be considered.
"Following that the council will consider all applications received and make a decision based on whether the applicant has the resources to run the centre and do so under license.
"It is hoped that Central Youth Club will be handed over to the new group by early summer."
The lease was offered for the provision of 'Tennis/Health', with gymnastics, judo and more included under health. The lease will continue to be advertised in the local press and the council's property website until 6 May. Guidance will be included in the advert as to what should be included in applications, with the council aiming to have the new lease holder in place by 1 August.
The club has a potted history – starting as a boys club in a room over a shop on St Mary Street – moving then to Penarth Road and then to a premises outside Central Station provided by the Marquess of Bute. After the war it moved to a venue on Bute Terrace, and then in 1996 it moved to a new and its last premises in Ocean Park, officially opened by the Duke of Kent.
Frazer Meek, 19, who runs freerunning group Fluidity and the Wales Parkour club who train at CCYC said he was aware of the expression of interest. He said the Central committee were looking into taking over ownership of the space and he hoped they were be the successful bidders:
"It would mean the club could stay there which is obviously a good thing. We hope we can continue to train there and the original committee takes it back. I run events there and lot go to the open sessions there."

In fact they have some of the same relatives in common, so it was only natural for him to become a lifelong Pirates fan. Before joining Pirates Prospects in July 2010, John had written numerous articles on the history of baseball while also releasing his own book and co-authoring another on the history of the game. He writes a weekly article on Pirates history for the site, has already interviewed many of the current minor leaguers with many more on the way and follows the foreign minor league teams very closely for the site. John also provides in person game reports of the West Virginia Power and Altoona Curve.

Rocky publishes Colorado Media Matters letter addressing earlier letter writers' inaccuracies about the organization
The Rocky Mountain News on September 2 published [1] a letter to the editor from Bill Menezes, editorial director of Colorado Media Matters, addressing several inaccuracies stated in earlier letters to the editor regarding the organization. The earlier letters [2], published August 12, were in response to an August 5 column [3] by News media critic Jason Salzman about Colorado Media Matters. Here is the text of the September 2 letter:
Letter writers wrong about Media Matters
I'd like to address some of the misleading and inaccurate statements made in two letters in the Rocky Mountain News, "Salzman snookered" and "Web site has its own ideological agenda" (Talk Back to the Media, Aug. 12), published in response to Jason Salzman's Aug. 5 column about Colorado Media Matters ("Media Matters takes on the right").
It is true that by monitoring, analyzing and correcting conservative misinformation that appears in the local media, Colorado Media Matters calls attention to progressive points of view that otherwise would be omitted or crowded out by the large number of conservative voices and talking points featured in mainstream news reports and on talk radio. But what is inaccurate is the statement that Colorado Media Matters - or Media Matters for America, for that matter - has a "hidden agenda."
Our Web site, colorado.mediamatters.org, clearly in two places on our home page ("About" and "About Us") explains that this organization is a "Web-based, progressive research and information center." Furthermore, site visitors who click the "About" link get access to a detailed "Staff/Advisors" list of our entire Colorado-based staff, including brief biographies [4] of each person. So, while one of the letter writers cited above might have had problems finding a list of our staff or our motivations, it's hard to see how.
Finally, the other letter writer inaccurately states that "most of what Media Matters calls 'mis- information' is merely a difference of opinion." Both Colorado Media Matters and Media Matters for America focus on factual misinformation rather than "bias," or what Hartwell might view as "difference of opinion."
Conservative misinformation is pervasive in the news media. Colorado Media Matters exists to monitor, analyze and correct it, and let members of the public form their own opinions about what we find. That is a fact, not opinion.
Bill Menezes
Editorial director,
Colorado Media Matters
Here are the texts of the August 12 letters:
Errors of right and left need correction
I read Jason Salzman's column on Media Matters ("Media Matters takes on the right," Aug. 5 News), but am confused on how it helps anything. Just like liberals are unlikely to listen to Mike Rosen and Jon Caldara, conservatives are unlikely to be swayed by Media Matters, even if they occasionally point out factual errors.
The fact that Media Matters only points out conservative misinformation is all the evidence you need that it is run by liberals, who, regardless of how you try to convince me otherwise, have their own bias/agenda, just like the conservatives they are trying to discredit.
What we need is a nonpartisan resource that points out instances both of liberal and conservative bias/factual errors. Now that would be interesting.
The liberals categorically deny a liberal bias in the media, which is silly; the conservatives overblow it to conspiracy levels, which is also silly. Pointing out both in one source would be much more credible.
Chris Roland Hotz
Greenwood Village
Salzman snookered
Jason Salzman's Aug. 5 column ("Media Matters takes on the right") lauded the Web site Colorado Media Matters for keeping tabs on commentators like Jon Caldara and Mike Rosen, who he says "often practice the worst kind of media criticism." I went to the national Media Matters Web site and found the worst kind of liberal ranting.
Bill Menezes, the editorial director of Media Matters, appeared on left-winger Jay Marvin's AM 760 radio program on July 25.
Does Salzman really think that Menezes has no hidden agenda? Salzman said there are 12 staffers. What are their names and e-mail addresses? They may be listed somewhere on the Web site, but I could find no such listing.
Salzman has been snookered into endorsing a left-wing Web site and presenting it to his readers as a neutral, unbiased one. In words found in the New Testament, "You were a stranger - and they took you in."
Bob Askey
Web site has its own ideological agenda
While Jason Salzman defends the local newspapers against having a liberal bias, he is provided with free space to advertise a progressive web site. ("Media Matters takes on the right," Aug. 5).
Salzman takes jabs at Mike Rosen and Jon Caldara, but fails to specifically address the complaints he has found in their reporting. In fact, most of what Media Matters calls "misinformation" is merely a difference of opinion.
For example, are we to assume that since Colorado Statesman reporter Terry Scanlon failed to point out that Bill Ritter's 97 percent plea-bargain rate was near the national average that it must be misinformation?
Salzman fails to point out that Media Matters of America was funded in part by groups associated with George Soros, backer of leftwing Air America.
R. Hartwell
