TAKE ACTION
• Join university women worldwide…
 …in working to support the millennium development goals!
• Join the PEACE X PEACE Global Network!
 This international movement uses the Internet to empower women by connecting U.S. Circles to Sister Circles globally.
STATISTICS:
•In some Latin American countries the name "Crisis Generation" is sometimes used due to the recurring financial crisis in the region during those years.
•In newly rich countries such as South Korea or Greece, Generation Y has known nothing but developed world standards of living, while their grandparents often grew up in developing world conditions, causing considerable social changes and inter-generational difficulties as the young reject many traditional ways of life.
Timeless Displacement
Margarita M. Serrano
ColombiaGALLERYCONVERSATION
This image is a discussion of my views on women as historical individuals, an attempt at understanding the generations that came before us. In the image three generations of my family are represented.

Women from my generation are ultimately more independent, and today’s life forces us to see the world differently both publicly and privately, we have more opportunities, more responsibilities, but we still hold on to traditional roles. It is important to face both not as a contradiction, but as a challenge.

What an eye-catching image. How is it composed, exactly? Is it a photo that you then painted/drew on, or is it a painting that you added the photos to?

In any case, it's quite a successful image. Thanks you,
