On International Women’s Day – 8 March, I would like to share a reflection on something deeply rooted in many of our cultures: the way we understand love.

For generations, women have often been praised for their ability to care, to support and, above all, to sacrifice for others. But what happens when sacrifice becomes the measure of love?
In the article “When Sacrifice Was Mistaken for Love”, I reflect on how this narrative has shaped expectations placed on women, and why it may be time to rethink the relationship between care, reciprocity and self-respect.
Because love, in its healthiest form, should never require someone to disappear.

I invite you to read the article and share your reflections.



Con motivo del Día Internacional de la Mujer – 8 de marzo, quiero compartir una breve reflexión sobre algo profundamente arraigado en muchas de nuestras culturas: la manera en que entendemos el amor.
Durante generaciones, las mujeres han sido elogiadas por su capacidad de cuidar, sostener y, sobre todo, sacrificarse por los demás. Pero ¿qué ocurre cuando el sacrificio se convierte en la medida del amor?

En el artículo “Cuando el sacrificio se confundió con amor”, reflexiono sobre cómo este relato ha moldeado las expectativas que recaen sobre las mujeres y por qué quizá ha llegado el momento de replantear la relación entre cuidado, reciprocidad y respeto hacia una misma.
Porque el amor, en su forma más sana, nunca debería exigir que una persona desaparezca.
Te invito a leer el artículo y a compartir tu reflexión.

Three competing visions of multilateralism — why this debate matters now
The global order is at a turning point.
The United States has announced the withdrawal from, or suspension of support for, more than 60 international agencies, many linked to the United Nations. This is not merely an administrative decision; it signals a deeper shift in how global cooperation, shared rules and collective responsibility are understood.
Inspired by the debate aired on Inside Story on Al Jazeera, this article analyses three competing visions of multilateralism:
multilateralism as an imperfect but necessary political infrastructure;

a unilateral approach centred on immediate national interest;

the perspective of the Global South, where weakening rules translate into lost negotiating power.

This is not an academic discussion. It has direct implications for how the international community addresses shared challenges such as conflict, inequality, climate change and global stability.
Read the full article to explore what is at stake when cooperation is weakened — and why defending and reforming multilateralism remains a strategic necessity rather than an idealistic choice.

Written out of curiosity — and concern for the world we are shaping.
