I am going to write more on this later on my World in a Turmoil blog.... but I have to say as a midwife that the menfolk that are controllers and oppressors of women seem to forget something very important.
That is they lived rent free for 9 months in a woman's womb without which would have no life!
A point the prophet Mohammed pbh highlighted in the response to a question he was posed... he was asked "Who should I give more affection to - mother or father" The reply was 1x father but 3xs mother as she carried you; birthed you and nurtured you. So the screwed up actions of the reports from Iran are not Islamic by this very point. Mohammed pbh did is fair share in the household with chores to keep salems in the home. Of course his wife Khadija pbh was an amazing business woman and well respected in the community.
It made me think being in the historical building of parliament that in the middle ages... I would have been burned at the stake as a witch. Midwife were wise women and still are but in the days of the growing male dominated medical profession were seen as a threat. So seems we all had a go at being prats... Time for light and love...and respect and care for one another as intended by the message of all religions.....
I was able to work my flyer too for the Syrian Family Link Up project too...and brilliant to bump into Lord Dubs in the Westminster Hall by chance as I was leaving today... I have been emailing him and talking on the phone so good to see one another in person.
