                    The female appeal in public relations


Women are dominating in pr


Women are better public relations prectitioners than men, the reason why i say women are doing a better job in this field is because women are better communicators and better listeners than men, because men are aggressive and they dont pay attention most of the time. Public relations deals with relations building as one of the most important skills in this field. Public relations prectioner have the ability to form trusting and lasting relationship with clients, and women and definately have those skills. Men are often distracted and dont attend well to the the quality of relationship building while solving problems with clients.


Women care about relationship they build with the clients and they are good with problem solving and while men on the other hand care more about the out come and how it will affect their profession status amd impressing only their bosses and what they will think than sustaing a better relationship with the client. women are more social and enjoy interacting with people and men are more uptight and most of the time they appreciate being in the limelight. women are are always aware of the latest trends whether in fashion or news that are relavant to public relations. Women are all about knowing the customer and portraying the image that the company wants, not that men dont a good in and they dont to their organisation but women are better at portraying a good image than men and they always thimking of building a good relationship with their clients and keepimg them happy.

Women are the new majority in PR

 
Gender imbalance in pr


recently, there has been a growing interest in public relations as a profession especiallly from women about 70 percent of women are public relations prectitioners and this has created  gender imbalance in many organisations and public relations firms. Men feel public relations is a career meant for women and they also feel it is not manly enough for them. Organisations feel that such an imbalance create a unhealthy workplace and clients prefer a input or services from a group of people balanced by gender.companies feel that there is a need for affirmative action to be taken in oder to attract more men into the public relayions field, they feel men should be offerred more pay than women for doing the same job and some believes that a less qualified man should be employed over a more qualifield female public relations prectitioner.

                                         First Female President in Southern Africa.

Meet Malawi's First Female President 

Joyce Banda has been a strong advocate for women and girls, particularly those in rural communities, throughout her political career. She was even recognized by Forbes Magazine last year when she was named Africa’s third most powerful female politician. Now, as she takes over as Malawi’s president, she is the first female head of state in southern Africa. One of her top priorities has been to get more girls in Malawi in school, a pledge she made years ago after using the proceeds from her garment manufacturing business and bakery to send underprivileged girls to school. Banda takes over the role following the death of the country’s former president Bingu wa Mutharika. Joyce  is a longtime women's-rights activist, educator and philanthropist. In addition to all that, the 62-year-old is also now Malawi's first female president, and the African continent's second. Banda, who was previously the country's vice president, took on her new leadership role on Saturday, two days after the death of President Bingu wa Mutharika.

Nadya Suleman: The Octuplet Mom

Nadya Suleman, a single mother gave birth to octuplets in January 2009 in California by in vitro fertilization. Nadya was already a mother of 6 children, taking the grand total to 14. With no disposable income and no proper plan on how to provide for these 14, the birth of these eight newborn babies has become a highly controversial one.
33 year old, Nadya Suleman from California gave birth to octuplets (8 babies) on January 26th 2009, which happen to be the second set of living octuplets in the United States. The first set of octuplets was born to Nkem Chukwu of Texas in 1998, however, their tiniest baby died a week later. This makes Nadya Suleman to be the first octuplet mom. Nadya's six boys and two girls of the healthy octuplet troop were born nine weeks premature at the Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center, California. The birth of the octuplets spearheaded a controversy in the United States, when people came to know these eight babies were the result of the implantation of 6 embryos, which was in violation to the professional guidelines.

Moreover, what added fuel to the controversy was that Nadya Suleman was already a mother of 6 children, age 2-7, before she gave birth to the octuplets, thereby taking the total number to 14. The other 6 children were also born through in vitro fertilization. Nadya, a single mother with no disposable income was surviving on student loans to sustain her family of six children before she decided to go in for another pregnancy. She survives on $490 food stamps a month and disability funds to run the house. 3 of her 6 children are disabled, one with ADHD, one with a speech impediment and the other with autism.
