Australia's Prime Minister Julia Gillard has been sworn into office, making her the first woman elected to the post in the nation's history. "I, Julia Eileen Gillard, do solemnly and sincerely affirm and declare that I will loyally serve the Commonwealth of Australia in the office of prime minister," she said in the ceremony in the Australian capital, Canberra.

This kind of changes are the ones we need most. Expanding the point of view in politics into a new whole atmosphere, Julia Gillard will become one of the few women in history in take charge of a country. I'm sure that in Australia people will start feel and think that it's definitely for the best, even when her election was narrow and represented by a tiny majority. Is not only about women reaching power, it is more about fairness, opportunities and a new angle to see International Relations, where women's opinion has not really been heard until now.
My opinion, power is power even it comes from MALE or FEMALE.. Everybody who is able to make a change to the best consider successful person either FEMALE or MALE .
ReplyDeleteWe have many many examples of successful FEMALE leader in this world Andera Ghandi, Angela Merkle and Thatcher... etc.
So we are waiting for most updates in this case.
The fact of being a woman or a man does not make a person better prepared to lead a nation’s destiny; but the truth is that in most of the countries, it can make a person reflect about their vote decision, which is definitely terrible, and lamentably it keeps happening in this century. Women in politics are doubly checked for the population in general and the press opinion; every female politician might agree that there are more expectations about their work than for their male partners’ one placing the female politicians in an unfair situation.
ReplyDeleteThere have been several successful and important female leaders in the past, and her acts will be remembered, especially because they were able to break the barriers that the societies all around the world have imposed to the women along the history. I hope that world leaders like Julia Gillard keep inspiring the women all around the world to participate in the political life of their own countries.
