"Punished for Being Female"

"The report, a compilation of many studies from around the world, should have been seen as the latest dispatch from that permanent world war — the war against women all over the planet. Instead, the news media greeted its shocking contents with a collective yawn."

"Not only are we not doing enough to counter this wholesale destruction of the lives of so many women and girls, we’re not even paying close attention."

"There was a time when activists cried out for our consciousness to be raised. It’s not too late. We can start by recognizing that the systematic subordination and brutalization of women and girls around the world is, in fact, occurring — and that we need to do something about it."
