Let me explain what I’m doing in the article above this one.

Unless someone puts out a call, some things never happen.  If we wait for gender persecution to end under its own steam, well, of course it will, given the events that we know about. But then maybe those events won’t come sooner than the deadline. I don’t know.

Moreover, unless someone fixes a deadline to a society-wide project, as I said in earlier articles, (1) it isn’t easy to coordinate social action. So I’m putting out the call now and fixing a deadline.

And I can’t stand myself waiting any longer. We’ve waited and waited for so many things that it seems to me time to take things into our own hands.

I don’t want to put the matters I discuss here into the declaration because I’d like the declaration to be clean and to the point. So let me say these matters here.

I’m a man and I’m not sure how central a role I can or should play in this endeavor. For the most part, in the beginning, I’ll simply hold the space for the work’s completion and write articles as the need arises.

Later, I can envision myself playing a larger, if indirect, role, but it isn’t the time for me to  be discussing that yet.

For this plan to succeed it’ll require all of us taking up the call and instituting the actions. I firmly believe that there’ll be money soon from the Global Currency Reset to support all manner of concerted effort.

What might that effort be? Well, one arm of that effort will undoubtedly be legal action. I foresee financial support to take individuals and governments to court.

Where the law of the land is complicit in such things as honor killings or dowry deaths, the action may have to be taken to the World Court in the Hague. Or the government itself may need to be taken to the World Court. I foresee there being money to do so if things go the way we expect.

Clearly, taking individuals and governments to court is not win/win. There are some actions that we’ll need to take in the beginning that demonstrate our will and actually place us in an adversarial position when the lives or wellbeing of women are at risk. But the overall effort and outcomes still needs to be cast in a win/win context or residue will result that will simply lead to more conflict.

Women’s organizations around the world need to be funded to extend their work. Conferences need to be held.  Consciousness raising needs to proceed. Worldwide education campaigns need to be run to explain why the abuse and persecution of women can no longer be tolerated.

There’s much work to do. But you know that I’ve been asked to remain a writer and not involve myself overly much in any campaign or activity. It’s a hard act to manage but I need to do so nonetheless.

So the call is the occasion. We now need to rise to that occasion if we care about our world, men as well as women.  Good luck to us all.
