International Womens Day

I don't commonly discuss women's rights on this site (even though it is one of my passions), but since it is International Women's Day today, and I bet most of you didn't know it, I thought I'd inform you. The truth is that the liberation that some of us women have, is a very recent achievement and there is still a very long way to go before all women are allowed to be fully equal members of society where they can interact with it as they choose and be free from physical abuse. In many countries like Iran a heated struggle continues for women's rights. But unfortunately, even in South Africa and Cape Town, many women suffer intense physical abuse from their partners. In some cultures, it seems like it is the norm, with women simply being happy if their partner doesn't beat them. The struggle isn't over ladies, don't forget about your sisters who may not be as fortunate as you. Help give them a voice.
