----- Respectful Interfaces brief e-memo and achievmeent recognition note -----
Congratulations and deep appreciation to Carol Jay Levy, an endearingg, wise and resouceful Communications Committee for the U.N. (CC/UN) and *Respectful Interfaces* Member - for introducing to the Pennsylvania, USA Legislature an initiative to bring womens' pain issues as well as all disability and issues to the fore. The Organization 'For Grace' preceded on the West Coast, and now we can consider New York and other venues. Linda had previoyusly been Chronic Pain spokesperson for the NDP (National Disability Party).
Linda and Carol both have trigeminal neuralgia and related nerve-pain and periphery conditions, and founded Persons With Pain International (here in the passed Resolution shown as People With Pain) during the U.N. convenings toward the 'Convention on The Rights of Persons With Disabilities'.
(For really effective respectful interfacing in this pressing area, we need to build those bridges even strong among those in need and those who can provide support and solace as well (everyone on earth needs a helping of that at some time!)).
Here on the U.N. Enable Website is when the U.N. accredited PWPI To the CRPD Convention: (the link is flush left on the next line for accessibility):
Here is the new Pennsylvania Bill designating September 2009 as Women in Pain Awareness Month:
And here is a link to Amazon's entry for Carol's unique and compelling "A Pained Life."
Thank you so much Carol !
Very best wishes, LDMF.
