In countries where traditions oppress women from interacting in the community activities, where one gender is only activating the entire set of activities in which women are deprived of, it is so hard to claim that there is participation though people are interacting. In some cultures women may be engaged in activities, but are not involved in decision-making, where men only make decisions. The participation of both genders at every level of activity is the most essential aspect of community life, which stimulates not only community vision and action, but also establishes confidence and trust among the members of any given community.

The creative ideas we produce to transform our society from one stage to another, by inviting other people to join us and work with us, we will definitely yield a fruit in which our children will taste. Participation may be likened as a tree that every part of the tree has a different function like as the root, the trunk, and the leaves do. Participation, in terms of communication and action, determines the reality of any person, and manifests the skills and intellectual potentials hidden in one’s being. The more we try to achieve towards to a specific goal, the more we learn from it, and the more we know ourselves in a different level. Our participation in any activity will enhance our capabilities and potentials as well.

We need to work hard by eradicating the obstacles we have in our path that limit the degree of our participation while working for our community development, collaborating hand in hand, supporting each other, morally, emotionally, and materially, so that our society may enjoy a life which is so blissful and enjoyable. Participation is indeed the key that unlocks the gates of prosperity.

Writer Profile
Dereje Amera


Writing is a powerful instrument to promote one's ideology, so as to transform and galvanize the whole of humanity to have a better perspective about this world.

Words are just combinations of letters, but the power they exert in every human frame is still a mystery to all.

Writing uses these mysterious forces of words as a tool to introduce, induce and create vibrations in society, which do have an influence on every aspect of our life as human beings.

May the power of WORDS prevail over all!!
