Duration 57 minutes
--- Featuring Click the Name to access the Segment below 1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz, Host of Women's Spaces ---- ---- 1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz: With so much going on in this world I thought I would do a commentary for this show. I am going to play some special music and will be sharing some thoughts on the cluster bombs that President Biden is sending to Ukraine, and I will look deeply into the Women’s Spaces Pledge, what it means and why embracing it is important in today’s world. The song I will be playing at the musical break is For The Children, sung by Shanta Fuentes. A perfect song because when we return, I am going to do an educational and thought- provoking commentary on Cluster bombs which are banned in over one hundred countries.President Biden just announced the US would send them to Ukraine to use in their war with Russia. I remember seeing Princess Dianna walking through the fields and seeing so many children and adults who lost limbs from stepping on one of these dangerous weapons. This song has a strong message.
For the Children
by Shanta Fuentes Oh precious are the children Special are the children In God's eyes Gifts from above Please take care of the children Helpless and innocent Children are the future From the borderlines and all around the world They need to know their voice is being heard From the borderlines and all around the world They need to know they are not alone Crying out Crying out yeah Crying out Crying out yeah For the children We don't have all the answers But silence is unacceptable Nor turning of A blind eye No we can't ignore it So open up your hearts We need more compassion Helping hands Taking action now From the borderlines and all around the world They need to know their voice is being heard From the borderlines and all around the world They need to know they are not alone Crying out Crying out yeah Crying out Crying out yeah For the children Crying out Crying out yeah Crying out Crying out yeah For the children So I dedicate this song In hopes that it sheds light on the issues It's not about choosing sides It's about saving lives Cause our children They've been crying out Crying out Crying out yeah Crying out Crying out yeah For the children Crying out Crying out yeah Crying out Crying out yeah For the children
Cluster bombs campaign
offers lessons for voluntary
sector
Funding campaigns can effect real change, says Samantha Rennie Dec. 2, 2008, Article in The Guardian by Samantha Rennie Excerpt: The convention on cluster munitions being signed today (Dec. 2, 2008) in Oslo is the most significant piece of international humanitarian law for a decade. It marks a major achievement for those campaigning for years to ban a horrific weapon with more devastating effects on people and livelihoods than even landmines. The campaign provides some interesting lessons on how charitable trusts and foundations can help voluntary organisations to shift government policy. The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund has supported the campaign to ban cluster munitions since 2003, building on its previous £11m investment in landmine clearance and support to survivors. But rather than fund further service provision, we sought legislative change to ban cluster munitions.... The convention on cluster munitions is more than a fitting legacy for Diana, Princess of Wales. It might inspire more independent funders to try to change policy and practice. Samantha Rennie is head of partnerships at the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund.

What are cluster bombs and
why are they controversial?
-- Biden administration confirms it has approved providing Ukraine with weapons opposed by human rights groups Article in The Guardian, Fri 7 Jul 2023, by Léonie Chao-Fong Excerpt: The US has confirmed it will provide cluster munitions to Ukraine, following calls from human rights groups for Kyiv and Moscow to stop using the controversial weapons. What is a cluster bomb? A cluster bomb is a weapon that breaks apart in the air and releases multiple explosive submunitions or “bomblets” across a wide area. They can be delivered by planes, artillery and missiles, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). How dangerous are they? The bomblets are designed to detonate on hitting the ground and anyone in that area is very likely to be killed or seriously injured. Beyond the initial damage caused by the munitions upon impact, many bomblets fail to detonate immediately. Up to 40% of bomblets have failed to explode in some recent conflicts, according to the ICRC. As a result, cluster bombs, like landmines, pose a risk to civilians long after their use. Unexploded ordinance from cluster bombs can kill and maim people years or even decades after the munitions were fired. Human rights groups say that the use of cluster bombs in populated areas is a violation of international humanitarian law because they cause indiscriminate destruction. Sixty percent of cluster bomb casualties are people injured while undertaking everyday activities, according to Reuters. One third of all recorded cluster munitions casualties are children. More than 120 countries have signed the Convention on Cluster Munitions, which prohibits the use, production, transfer and stockpiling of the weapons. Russia, Ukraine and the US have all declined to sign the treaty. Since the adoption of the convention in 2008, 99% of global stockpiles have been destroyed, according to the Cluster Munition Coalition....

The song I will be playing during the musical break is For the Mothers, sung by Betsey Rose and the Women’song Chorus. It is so sad when you think of the cluster bombs and what havoc they cause for women and children. When will humanity evolve to be able to have peace on earth? For the last segment I want to talk about the Women’s Spaces Pledge that we do the last Monday of the month, and it is behind my business card. For me nothing is truly going to change if women do not stand up in the name of the children they bring forward. I believe if that does not happen, we may lose many of the freedoms we fought so hard to win. Nothing was given to us, and it is important to remember that.
The song I will be playing for
the musical break is The
Galaxy Song, sung by Clint
Black, an amazing song. A shout
out to my friend Marie Johnson
who turned me on to the song. It
lets us know we live in a
mystery. ---- Our history is our strength. Check out important dates to remember in herstory at the National Women's History Alliance,, where the date descriptions were sourced unless otherwise indicated.
