UNFPA's poster competition "When You Empower a Woman, You Empower A Family" submissions are due by June 30; winners will be announced later. One suggestion says "Draw how a woman can empower a family". We all know that Swazi women carry a heavy load when it comes to supporting a family. Maybe a good way to empower women and families would be for husbands and dads to assume a bigger role at home. If dads will bring home the financial support regularly, help children with homework and know how they are doing in school, and listen to their children so that they could offer fatherly support through childhood problems, I think mothers will feel very empowered. These mothers will no longer have to do the jobs of two parents. Additionally, the dad's sacrificial and thoughtful actions will cultivate love among family members. I hope that present and future husbands/dads will endeavour to give their wives and children the time and effort they need to thrive. May Swaziland prosper as husbands and dads lead the way in caring for their families.
