On International women’s Day we need to be high lighting the very important feminine issues. How can we continue in this out worn male centric country with issues which allow women to be violated,and due to ex third world occupants ,problems which are becoming worse.Talk of money and pushing basic human rights under the carpet to undermine the female will not substitute for other politics.Science cannot change this important issue.
