Girl Power?

I urge you to read this article about world wide discrimination against girls and women. It was published today in The Independent.

• In the UK, two women are killed every week at the hands of their partners (current and former)

• Female foeticide is on the increase in countries where a male child remains more valued

• two million girls a year still suffer genital mutilation

....the list goes on, and on.
