Here's a quick update on what was "Hot and Happening" at TakingITGlobal.org recently:

Gender Talk
TIGer Omar Sabry tackles the issues of gender stereotyping in a panorama article. He mentions "Boys like blue. Girls like pink. Boys like toy trucks. Girls like Barbie dolls. These statements seem to capture what is normal and natural in most societies." As a society, we enforce gender standards, is it right? Read on and share your thoughts.

Commit to Vote!
With the world's political situations changing, it is imperative that those of us who are able to exercise their right to vote and make an informed decision about who to elect as their nation's leader, should do so! If there are elections pending in your country, join and commit to vote! Countries that will be holding elections soon include South Africa, Azerbaijan, Canada, Zambia, the United States of America, and Ghana. Make your vote count!
