Although promoted by a conservative government, the reform marks an unexpected — and significant — evolution in Italy’s political landscape: a recognition that safeguarding women is not an ideological issue, but a national priority.

February 29 falls once every four years, offering a unique phenomenon on the calendar. During the early 20th century, Leap Year held significance beyond the addition of an extra day, providing an opportunity for women to propose marriage to men throughout the entire year, not just on Feb. 29.    The origins of this tradition remain uncertain, with historian Katherine Parkin from Monmouth University suggesting it may have its roots in Irish or Scottish folklore.

Urgent Call for Donations for Victims in Nepal](https://womenalliance.org/earthquake-urgent-call-for-donations-for-victims-in-nepal/): Nepal in Need after Earthquake In addition to a recent turbulent individual political history (ten years of civil war (1996 to 2006), abolition of the monarchy in 2008, adoption of a new constitution in 2015), Nepal has not only been severely affected by the global pandemic but is above all exposed to the uninfluenceable shifts of the earth’s plates.

President Joanna Manganara who focused on it repeatedly during her presidency.  I am sure it gives her, as it does all of us, a certain satisfaction to see that the United Nations General Assembly has designated one day in its calendar to […]
- [Durga Puja and the Strength of the Feminine](https://womenalliance.org/durga-puja-and-the-strength-of-the-feminine/): Calcutta celebrates Durga Puja It was a time when evil reigned supreme in the world and the gods were powerless – so said the legends. The holy trinity of Hindu deities came together and in an explosion of rage created an all powerful woman goddess, Durga with the sole task of rooting out evil in the shape of a demon known as Mahishasura. Durga Puja is a celebration of women’s strength but what makes it ironic is the fact that women are treated in a way that is far from divine. They are abused, violated and trafficked while women goddesses […]
