Those of you who know me quite well know that my biggest passion in RL (Real Life) is that of staunchly defending the rights of women and girls to be treated as equal human beings as their male counterparts - In all areas of society in which we participate.
You'll see a little hint to the slant Venus Beach II takes on this issue at the Landing Point, and No, it's not the "Run over boys" pic!
As the founder and co-owner of Venus Beach II, I have carried on the tradition of the Venus Beach brand to provide a place a place for women to come and be women, away from all gender stereotypes, and from possible abuse from men gamers. Indeed Female gamers often have to endure daily abuse in cyberspace. This makes the continued existence of our community even more important in our digital age.
Here in Australia, and I hear in the UK, awareness of issues surrounding basic rights, respect and equality for women has very much moved into the social media realm.
I have listed below some GREAT links to pages I support, to which I passionately encourage you to support too, and show your on board with perhaps the most important issues which directly affect us all as women.
