Small Actions, Big Impact!
Every day can be full of actions that go unnoticed. Repetitive work on a small scale is rendered invisible in the shadow of public actions perceived as important. In this Letter, 500 years after a reform that mobilized men and women to seek relationships of justice, we focus on actions that began as small initiatives but have come to impact society as a whole, thanks to the persistence of those who promote them.

Our team has been inspired by and adopted the poem, “God”, by Moni Egger, who in her last paragraphs tells us:

And let him, let her,
Spray drops of justice
As they shake themselves
And let every action
Let every word
Leave a glittering trace
Of dewdrops behind
May it be now!
And in the sea of justice
Heaven is mirrored
Amen
Thank you very much for the interesting women’s letter. I think it’s great when we women know what other women are up to, what their problems are and how we can connect better. So thank you very much and best regards,
