How can Ten Bucks change your life?

Ten Bucks is an organization founded in the Netherlands to create and offer people with less (money) opportunities for ten bucks. The concept is very simple and elegant: you pay ten bucks as a membership fee and this gives you the right to enter any class, course, seminar or event advertised on Ten Bucks for, you guessed it, ten bucks. Advertising on Ten Bucks costs an additional ten bucks.

For years I’ve been seeking. Who am I? What do I want? Why am I doing, what I am doing? Working in a corporate environment, wearing business suits and high heels, it looked as if I was very successful but was I? No! Deep insight I felt so empty and lonely, with many ghosts from the past following me.

I still hear, on a rather regular basis, that women have made it. That there is no need for feminism anymore and those women’s issues should only revolve around beauty, food and health. There is nothing wrong with these centers of interests, but they should certainly not be considered as an exhaustive list.

Gerty Theresa Radnitz Cori, a pioneer in biochemistry, received international recognition for discovering, along with her husband, Carl, how glucose is converted into glycogen, a process dubbed the Cori Cycle. Her research had a profound effect on the treatment of diabetes, allowing physicians to understand how the body stores glucose by converting it into glycogen stored energy, which can be used when the body's reserves run low. In 1947, she and her husband, along with Bernardo A. Houssay, received the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine for this discovery.

Being a massage therapist herself, Astrid Kesler was confronted with women who were traumatized physically or mentally. These women really needed special care and special attention but also sometimes just wanted to relax, forget, just get away for a few hours like everybody else.  These women just wanted to go to a wellness centre from time to time but didn't dare to go or were not welcome because of the “scars” on their bodies.

Makueni is a community in rural Kenya known for its issues with food insecurity, teenage pregnancies and high rates of school drop-outs. This is primarily due to dependence on the scarce rainfall, low food production, very high poverty levels and overreliance on the staple food i.e. Maize. Children are forced to drop out of school and girls are more affected as they cannot access sanitary towels making them missing up to 7 days of school every month during their menstrual cycle.

Kenya isn't the only country debating when life begins. The Dominican Republic approved their new constitution, with language specifying that life was protected from conception amidst a fraught public debate that pitted the Catholic Church against women's rights and human rights groups. In Mexico, in the last two years, 17 states have amended their state constitutions to protect life from conception. All of which suggests a worrying trend where governments are willing to forsake women's rights rather than face down religious interests.

Land is a thorny issue in the East African country. It is the principal source of livelihood and material wealth for a majority, and carries cultural significance for many Kenyans. Hilda Nguyai, FIDA-Kenya's client services officer says the organization received 400 inheritance cases from January to the end of October 2008, most of them involving land. The figures have been increasing over the years. According to Joyce Mulama, EASSi's interest in women's rights in the region is felt in every area.

Whatever the argument, women are the majority of victims of sex based discrimination, by virtue of being women. A Kenyan woman married to a foreigner who does not fit into the two exceptions, can pass on her Kenyan citizenship to the children of such marriage if they are born in Kenya. The same does not happen if the child is born outside Kenya, since such a child acquires Kenyan citizenship only if the father is a Kenyan citizen. Representation of women should also be effective at the district and locational levels, as well as in the country, town and municipal councils.

Much attention was focused on the recent abolition of the ban on brothels, in effect since January 1999.  Representatives of the Ministry of Justice said that the Dutch Government was profoundly aware that the public was divided on the subject of prostitution and the way in which the Government should deal with it.  It had been widely debated, in both Parliament and society.  There was respect for the view that prostitution was an affront to human dignity and also for the view that sex for money among consenting adults had nothing to do with human dignity and should, there

The Netherlands is one the most popular destinations in Europe of women trafficked from Ukraine and Russia. There are at least 1,000 trafficked women in the Netherlands. In Amsterdam, Netherlands, 80% of prostitutes are foreigners, and 70% have no immigration papers, suggesting that they were trafficked. In 1994, the majority of trafficked women from Central and Eastern European Countries had traveled overland, usually by car. Prostitution is legal in the Netherlands, and has been defined as a form of work.

Annual reports of the Dutch Commission on Equal Treatment contain detailed information on the cases the commission handles, disaggregated by grounds cited for discrimination. It is difficult to understand why the government report only presents overall figures on the cases referred to the commission rather than specific cases on sex-discrimination.

Instead of halting forced evictions the Serbian authorities in Belgrade are carrying out more and more, driving Roma communities from their homes and forcing them to live in inadequate housing.  Roma communities, supported by local 2 and international NGOs, have taken action to challenge and prevent evictions, and defend their rights. Roma living in informal settlements have been of pivotal importance in shaping Amnesty International’s recommendations, which reflect the needs of members of Romani communities as well as international human rights standards.

The campaign for suffrage was closely tied to what many referred to as a sex war between men and women. With the feminist movement, and suffrage in particular, women were rebelling against historical male sexual tyranny and their historical objectification in British society. Women devoted themselves to the Cause of acquiring the right to vote on issues of importance to their country, despite direct individual repercussions - societal contempt and ridicule and mistreatment (at time sexually) at the hands of men that sought to contain them.

Women's rights issues are so disparate these days; there is no one issue that unites us all as the right to suffrage did in the early twentieth century. Inequality is still prevalent and women often bear the brunt of it. Women are more likely to face physical abuse; women still face discrimination in the workplace especially with regard to pay, whilst the onus of childcare is still very much on women.
