How much money did they spend on figuring this one out? Also, how long did it take global leaders to come to this conclusion? Wait for it..one more..how many women/young women died whilst they were coming to this conclusion?

Yep, a bit jaded...ugh..

Catriona, thank you so much for posting this. I have thought about this for a long time (years) and recently have been searching for an organization whose goal was purely to help women.

It's funny how you start looking for something and very soon afterwrad you find it, sometimes in the most unexpected places.

I read that article yesterday. I loved the part about how that woman whose husband beat her daily; now she bosses him around and he's decided that daughters are as good as sons.

There's actually a series of articles. One of which talks about the rise in philanthropy by women for women's causes:
