Neither beauty is synonymous with success, nor does happiness come with a highly anticipated prince charming. There are still many stereotypes and gender barriers pending to go down in history. There are still many children who continue to believe that they occupy different places in society. And there are even more steps to take to make gender equality a reality. Today we are talking about one of them, female empowerment since childhood, and its importance. There are 1.1 billion girls in the world, 1.1 billion dreams that should not be truncated by gender impositions. In order for girls to understand that they own their future, experts agree that from different socialization agents (family, school, media, etc.), self-esteem and empowerment must be promoted from an early age, through of keys such as communication, leadership or negotiation, among others.

Talking about suicide is not easy. It is incredibly difficult and uncomfortable, because talking about suicide is talking about mental health. It is talking about something that is not seen as specifically as the mark after a blow or a cut. It is something that feels. But not because of the absence of its physical representation, it is less painful, dangerous, or important than a physical blow.

Empowerment of youth is a process through which they  experience a sense of control over their lives, making choices and making informed decisions. Younger people feel they are experiencing an empowerment process when they feel listened to, understood and feel they can make decisions for themselves thus having control over their own lives.

What actually is Skill Development and what are the impacts it creates among youth? Faced with the profound changes that, in recent decades, have affected the labor market, how can we help people - and above all young people - to relate, ...

S ince childhood we are led to believe that money makes happiness. We pour our desire to feel good about objects, as if they were actually the origin of well-being. We grow up convinced that things make us happy and consequently we become obsessed with money.

From an early age, we are convinced that money is the most precious asset. Not only do we begin to judge others by this parameter (the more you have, the more you are worth), but we make money our obsession.

And when we get there, we realize that there is a much more precious asset. Death and the importance of time There is nothing more democratic than death...

Because, if there is no doubt that every child has a particular and specific talent, it is not always easy to recognize it or help him to identify and strengthen it. The psychologists and psychotherapists explains how to try to understand and how to encourage the passions of the little ones, so that, who knows, they don't really become a job: we adults know it well, doing your job with passion and love is among the most beautiful things of the world. Don't we want the same for our children?    We, the Karuvi foundation is regularly conducting workshops in p...
