On being a woman
In many parts of the world, being a woman is a dangerous matter. I'm thinking rapes, beatings, sexual torture etc. Now there's a story about how young ladies in Africa are having their budding breasts ironed down by a hot stone to make them less attractive. I've read about the mutilation of genitalia, but this is a frightening, sickening first. Any suggestions on how women elsewhere can help their sisters who must suffer such torture?

Ana, I wish I could offer such a suggestion. Stories of mutilation and also of abuses of women in Afganistan and other Arabic countries all in the name of "protecting" women are truly heart breaking.
Really amazing! Useful information. All the best.
