Make love, not war
It is said that the world would not enjoy permanent peace since men were born warriors; whereas others say that there exists a mighty power to resist the eruption the war so long as women are living. Here we introduce to you a project named after Aristophane's anti-war comedyLysistrata, that is, Let's make love, not war!

The way to celebrate the International Women's Day
Women's Day marks the role of women in both the past and the present. However, the day is not a one-day routine. The real challenge lies in the spontaneous flow of feelings -- honoring and celebrating womanhood on a particular March 8 only to forget its importance the next day is sacrilegious.
“国际妇女节”意在凸显女性在社会中的重要角色。我们最大的挑战在于：3月8日这天，各种庆祝活动大张旗鼓；3月8日之后，一切“绚丽”关注烟消云散…

Focus on the disadvantaged：hornor killings
Focus on the disadvantaged：female circumcision
Focus on the disadvantaged: "white ribbon" campaign
Although the prayers for peace and gender equality have been ringing in the 21th century, there pravails such customs as "hornor killings" and "female circumcision" in some other local regions. These hideous traditions are unfortunately imprinted on the victims' memories, and meanwhile, they raise the alarm to the world that women issues are far from being addressed. In 1991, a handful of men in Canada launched the "white ribbon" camaign, which communicates the instimulating sign -- men are opposed to sone other men's violence against women.
21世纪的今天，世界和平、两性平等已经深入到全人类最真诚的祈祷声中… 可是，在世界的某些角落，依然存在着种种陋习--"女子割礼"，"荣誉杀害"--愚昧的风俗不仅仅在受害者心头留下永远的痛，也时时提醒着已经拥有幸福的男人和女人：我们应该关注女性问题，因为，只有当世界上所有女人都拥有平等的权利过着快乐生活的时候，世界才真正和平。1991年由一群加拿大男性倡议发起的“白丝带”活动，就是关注女性、保护女性的最好例证。
