http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=34512&Cr=palestin&...Three Palestinian girls, living in a refugee camp in the West Bank, assemble an electronic cane and go to a sciene fair in California. Seems almost unbelievable. These people, doomed by one of the worst nightmares created by Western civilization, are still able to stand out from this all and to show out their skills.
Palestine is only one of the worst cases, but all around the world people, women, like the three 14-olders can't express their abilities because they have to struggle againist war, gender inequalities, economic unbalance. Their vision, their intelligence, their creativity is sacrificed to unclear international interests.The loss of their intelligencies is a loss for wh*** mankind.
Everyday, people like them struggle for survival among any kind of threat. Every luckier fellow who can do something should act towards a world without this nonsense.
