Edgar Ramírez Instagram – Dear María Camila, my beloved niece, Today, on International Women’s Day, I want to reaffirm my commitment to work for a world in which you are afforded the same opportunities and the same rights as your male siblings. A world where you make your own decisions, where you own your own life, your own body and your own sexuality. A world in which you are not , and never allow yourself to be, physically or emotionally abused. A world where all girls have the right to the education that you receive today. A world where you don’t have to apologize for your success, and where your economic compensation is determined according to your abilities and personal efforts and not according to your gender. A world where you are not afraid to give your opinion, where you are not afraid of suspicion, where you are not afraid of loneliness; a world where you don’t feel that without a man or without children, your life is not complete. A world where – in the words of the therapist Lucy Arellano – you “deserve, value and enjoy any care or show of affection from your partner… but without needing it, nor requiring it, nor depending on it for your emotional well-being”. Maria Camila, my darling, today I promise you that I will continue to work so that you grow up aware of the ravages of machismo culture and rebel against it, by helping other girls to be empowered. Your uncle who loves you with all his heart, Edgar #internationalwomensday #womensforum #womenspavilion #expo2020 #cartier #sponsored
