Perhaps the larger issue is the virtual world of the Internet and how many individuals are becoming more socially isolated. There are numerous social media sites and millions of blogs. As with much of technology, that brings about both good and bad.

I received a comment yesterday from Nila who has a new journalism site called Shetizen Journalist. It is designed as a place for women to write about politics, awareness and issues of the day in a global venue.

Because I think there are very few women in the world who feel their voices are truly heard. We’ve only to look at the massive under-representation of women at major conferences, women involved in conflict resolution, women leaders.
