My apologizes Dotsie, for being late in saying thank you for this other information.

There's really nothing more i can add to this topic though, except to say I believe men and women are equally capable of being the wisest of leaders if given equal opportunity to knowledge and authority, and equally capable of betraying the trust extended to them.

But maybe with more women visible in leadership roles, the continued neglect of the education of so many girls in certain areas will lessen, and maybe, just maybe women themselves in certain parts of this world will stop butchering little girls through "female circumsion", (although that has not been a problem in Chile or Liberia ). And maybe in certain parts of the world when women (and men) say, rape is a crime, honour killings are a crime, more people will sit up and take notice. And maybe in all parts of the world, certain young women will realize they have more going for them
as women, than just their sexual appeal.
