Celebrating International Women's Day

Happy International Women's Day! More background info here. This year's theme is "women and men united to end violence against women and girls." I enjoyed my first time hosting a radio show - it was a one-hour segment on Repression and Violence Against Women as part of WRFG's 6-hour IWD celebration. The guests were Moya Bailey, Glory Kilanko and America Gruner. Great conversation though quite a depressing topic.... as seen in some recent articles on women's issues:

• UN chief urges: End violence against women

• Worldwide downturn 'to hit women'
  

• What would a real life Barbie look like?
  

• Aid Group Says Rape Growing Problem Around Globe
