It’s inspiring to read about the number of different ways community members can make a difference, simply by looking creatively at something they know can be improved.

These poems are so moving! I hope that I can find that kind of courage in my life when I need it.

I think it’s hard for a man to fully understand the fear generated by domestic violence, and I applaud the women who contributed to this magazine for confronting their fear and taking action, often in order to save their children.

I’m really looking forward to this proving to be a far more effective arm of the UN! Here’s to meeting those Millenium Development Goals.

This is really heartening to see that women’s issues are being addressed as men’s issues as well – equality and safety are societal issues that shouldn’t need to be gender-related, but unfortunately, we’re not at the point in time where that can be the case. Let’s hope that other organisations see this work and learn from it.

Comment on Engineer says robotics can use a woman’s touch by Ethan James

Ethan James — Mon, 31 May 2010 15:06:59 +0000

As an engineer myself, I found this really interesting, particularly the idea of doing more research around the way robots relate to, or interact with, people.

The idea of women’s superior relationship skills being brought to this type of interaction is also interesting, but I don’t want to get controversial, so I’ll leave it at that (and mull a few things over myself). :)

The importance of press freedom can never be overstated, and I urge everyone to remember and support not only UNESCO’s role as “champion of freedom of expression and the right to know,” but also the ways we can all make a difference.

Congratulations on this award, Connector Media! We met at last year’s Prowess conference, and I was really impressed with your vision. Since then, I’ve been checking the site regularly and really appreciate the mix of news from around the world and more local, immediate impacts. Looking forward to more in the future!
