For me, I have loved working from home. I feel a lot of peace and silence since since I don't have children yet, I am alone during the day. My faithful companion at work is my little dog Bellito every day.
Working from home has saved me almost 2 hours a day commuting. I've had time to cook more and try different cooking recipes. It has also allowed me to clean and organize every space in my house, and to enjoy more of nature in my neighborhood while I run or ride my bike.

From the most remote time that is known, drugs have wreaked significant havoc on the population of different countries for different reasons and causes. And although adolescents and young people are the most affected due to their inexperience, older adults and even the elderly are not excluded from the statistics.

When you meditate on the Old Testament readings you will find a hidden treasure on every page. Each reading declares a set of canonical books written in the Bible where the existence of God is ratified through the prophecies inspired by the experiences of the Jewish people when introducing the sources of Christian revelation.

Spring is here and the heat that is beginning to feel stronger reminds us that summer is coming soon, very soon, just around the corner. For those of us who work at Educando a América, this will be the first summer that we are offering the camp in Spanish again, which we canceled in July 2020 for reasons that do not need to be clarified.

A few days before the start of the World Cup in Qatar, in a television interview they asked the Minister of Labor of the Argentine Nation Raquel “Kelly” Olmos how she was going to solve the immense number of problems that there was in the country and she answered "No, now the priority is the soccer world cup and that Argentina wins the title".

Just four months before the pandemic began, the Broward County Commission passed a critical ordinance for women: Ordinance 2019-35. It adopted the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), often known as the "Bill of Rights" of women.
CEDAW was adopted in December 1979 by the UN General Assembly. To date, 187 of the 193 member states of the United Nations have ratified CEDAW. The United States is one of six countries, along with Iran, Sudan, Somalia, Palau, and Tonga, that have not ratified CEDAW. Although the United States signed CEDAW in 1980, CEDAW ratification has never been brought to the full Senate for a vote. This is not too surprising since the US has only ratified 5 of the 18 UN treaties, and the US still does not have an Equal Rights Amendment.
Because the US Senate did not ratify CEDAW, a movement began for local governments to adopt the convention. In Florida, Miami-Dade County was the first to adopt a CEDAW ordinance.
Included in the Broward ordinance is a requirement that the County Auditor provide a biennial Gender Equity Data report to the Commission, focused on economic development, education, health and safety. FIU's Jorge M. Pérez Metropolitan Center was contracted to produce the first report, which was delivered in March 2021. Read the full report:
https://www.broward.org/Auditor/Reports/Reports/Status%20of%20Women%20in%20Broward%20County%20Report%202021%20-%20Report%20No.%2021-10.pdf
For me, the most disturbing part of the report was the gender pay gap. Across all occupations, the earnings gap between full-time working women and men was 12.6%. That gap increased to 24.0% if a woman had a bachelor's degree and increased to 33.4% if a woman had a graduate or professional degree.
Since a report will be issued every two years to the County Commission, I am looking forward to this year's report to find out how women are doing in Broward County.
