#EndGenderApartheid

A group of leading Iranian and Afghan women are calling to make gender apartheid an international crime as the situation in both countries continues to deteriorate rapidly for women and girls. Annette Young talks to Dr Ewelina Ochab, a lawyer from the International Bar Association's Human Rights Institute who is working on the campaign. Also as southern Turkey rebuilds following the catastrophic earthquake in February, once again women are being impacted the most with many living in tent cities where hygiene conditions are poor and their safety is at risk. Plus the Egyptian women's field hockey team that's scoring more than goals as they face gender discrimination while lacking financial sponsorship.

I assume by "international " you are only talking about Western democracies?

`The problem with this idea is that making "gender apartheid" an international law would require enforcement. The U.S. just failed massively after nearly two decades and a HUGE expenditure of money and not a few lives in Afghanistan trying to change that culture. The elevation of women was a big part of that effort. They opened schools, etc. As soon as our incompetent president exited the failed campaign, the Taliban was shutting those schools down and returning to their former ways. What you are dealing with is the reality of a religion-caused condition that has been in place for almost two thousand years. Unless you can do something about this you are merely putting on a show for the rest of the world.

Sex not gender . And women should be protected worldwide

France24: You would reach a wider audience if you made your videos more accessible. Subtitles and video transcripts are critical to many people, and are useful to many others. They're necessary for people with limited hearing, for people listening in less than optimal surroundings, for people viewing in quiet places, for people with devices with poor sound quality, for people taking down notes.
Essentially every other national and international news msm channel on CZcams provides subtitles and video transcripts for their viewers. ABC, CBC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, BBC, CBC, Al Jazeera, TVP, DW, UATV all have them enabled on virtually all their videos.
