The theme of International Women's Day this year is "Take action to end impunity for violence against women and girls."
My article [url="http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art27334.asp"]Violence Against Women in the Middle East[/url] looks at this goal and discusses a recent study on violence against girls and women in Syria.
Also, check out our Meditation editor's article -
Women Meditating for World Peace - International Women's Day. I don't know about anyone else, but after reading about violence, I am ready for some meditation for peace!
Have a safe and peaceful International Women's Day!
