If Alameda, Femme, Teaschip and all the others can find a way to at least communicate with one another that will indeed be something for each one of those individuals to be proud of...

In the fall of 2006, women's rights groups in Iran launched the One Million Signatures for Equality campaign with the aim of gathering one million signatures demanding the repeal of Iranian laws that are discriminatory towards women. This campaign was born out of a peaceful rally of hundreds of Iranians in Tehran on June 12, 2006, which was violently broken up by police.
Delaram Ali is one of several activists who have been criminally charged for participating in the June 2006 rally (see Human Rights First alert here). Ms. Ali, a 24-year-old sociology student and active member of the campaign, was sentenced in July 2007 to two years and ten months in prison, as well as 10 lashes. On November 4, 2007, she was told that her appeals against conviction had been exhausted and that she should report to prison for the sentence to be carried out. After seven leading human rights organizations around the world made a statement condemning the harsh sentence, the sentence was stayed; as of last week, however, the stay has expired and the sentence could be implemented at any time.

Yes it does catwoman, but it should also mean we fight for other women to have the same basic rights to freedom, speech and protection.

Count me in, all women of any age, race, religion, colour, sizei shape must be protected from violence inside and outside of the home. Women must be given the opportunity to find professional and confidential help and support and moreover, understanding.

Can I you all a question ? Do you think enough is done in Turkey to create awareness on a national level about helplines for woman protection ? Does anyone here think it is a shame to admit that you have been attacked ? Is violence against woman taken seriously enough here ? Are most women seen as "asking for it" when they have been attacked ?
The thing that touched my heart the most on all these posts was when someone mentioned in their post or quote from the newspaper that one woman was so surprised to see a man campaigning for womens rights. My hubby believes in womens right too. Many men here do ! Bravo !!
BTW, I prefer the chewing gum that blows your head off with menthol when you chew - like Airwaves !!!
