It’s been about ten days since my last post but today I saw a news report and some images that really struck me.
The newscast was about Las Damas de Blanco (The Ladies In White). For those of you who do not know who these women are, they are a group of Cuban women who take part in non-violent protests against the Cuban government by attending mass each Sunday wearing white and walking silently through the streets.
A couple of days ago, around the time of my last post, the women were participating in a march against the imprisonment of dissidents(some who are there husbands and sons).
The images on the screen are horrifying and awful: women are being pulled and dragged into busses, people are yelling insults at them…
But these women are strong.
Their resistance and how they continue to push through really makes me want to be a better woman.
Truly Inspiring!
