A birthday remembrance for Bel |
|
|
Isabel saw women's rights as a fundamental human rights issue. As a sociologist, she became
aware of traditional practices, such as female genital mutilation. These practices are abhorrent, but what to do about it? It was a cause of great
personal concern for her. Bel would surely be involved in the ongoing efforts in
the US and abroad to focus attention on human rights violations against women, were she here today.
In honor of Isabel on her birthday, a number of resources have been gathered here to assist those who want to learn more. Bel would urge us all to continue the effort. |
A veiled threat? Perhaps they are just exchanging recipes.
What could they be hiding under the burqa?
