Women hold up half the sky, given half a chance
Humanitarian aid is most effective when directed to women and girls. Detailed article on how and why, and just how cheap a life-saving intervention can be. Inspiring, and also saddening, given that little of this kind of intervention is being done. But some is, and more can be! Thanks, meowse!
His cautionary note:
The second half of page 3, from the section
starting "ABBAS BE, A BEAUTIFUL teenage girl in the Indian city of
Hyderabad" on down, deals in agonizing detail with sexual slavery. It
can be skipped without losing much of the sense of the article. If
you are likely to find the related topics disturbing, you may wish to
skip that section and go directly on to page 4.
