Activists Fail to Get UN Women's Documents to Include Pro-Abortion Language

A last ditch effort by ambassadors and top UN officials failed last night to reach agreement on policies to end violence against women because powerful western developed countries want to scrap previous agreements that do not recognize abortion as a right.

Violence against girls in conflict-affected populations reinforces gender norms. In some areas affected by conflict, adolescent girls and young women are perceived as responsible for their own safety and considered as burdens and threats to family honor should they become victims of violence or pregnant prior to marriage, according to a new study. This latest research on gender based violence also indicates that girls need to take responsibility for managing their interactions with boys and men. Source 5u.
