Beyond Borders
How do we get beyond borders that divide women and men with common goals and interests? Sometimes borders (like the politically freighted term feminism) become barriers to common growth and change. Sometimes borders reflect economic, class, and geographic disparities. When we allow any border (even a glass ceiling) to become a boundary, we cage and limit ourselves.
Some borders – professional, political and religious – are barriers to human progress. What work can we achieve on behalf of women and girls to move beyond barriers to full empowerment? How can we transform the barriers we observe into liminal places for us to transition from old to new ways.
It's time to think beyond borders. Here at Veteran Feminists of America, we seek to move beyond the borders of conflict toward a boundless future. Work with your local and national organizations dedicated to these goals. To join VFA go to at http://www.vfa.us/
