The new feminism: life and death
For many women, the difference between life and death is a piece of string, a clean razor blade, a fresh bandage and a bar of soap. That’s why a pitiful amount of money can save a woman, or a newborn baby, or both. And that’s why, while the Australian government is expending hundreds of millions of dollars fighting a war in Afghanistan, civilian volunteers in Australia are sending thousands of simple birthing kits (bandage, blade, string, soap, plastic sheet) to Afghanistan, because it is one of the most oppressive places in the world to be a woman.
