it is five to noon - well by the time this blog is written it is past midnight - and then it is our day - international women's day. Let's call upon Chancellor Angela Merkel to show us what's in it for women's rights during the double presidency of the EU and the G8. Today, more than 100 organisations launched a new campaign "women won't wait" which sheds light on the vicious circle of violence against women & girls and HIV/AIDS. If one reads that young women account for 76% of all new HIV infections in Sub-Saharan Africa then for sure we can't wait any longer - we should not and we must not, as Mary Robinson said in her remarks at the launch event. Indeed, actions are needed - i guess it's Merkels turn just now.
yet again, good night and good luck
