Erm, am I the only one who noticed that PW said Bob Geldof was talking about crocs:
"He said other stuff too but will post more detail on blog (about reform of IMF, trade credit provisions and crocs). " The shoes?!
On a more serious note, there was a d short documentary that the UN prepared about women's health in Afghanistan, and how they're trying to engage local religious leaders to advocate views which are more useful to women. For example, stating that it is not unIslamic to have spaces between births (as in, not get pregnant, produce baby, get pregnant again). Surely, this is the best way forward, to engage the leaders in communities and to find alternatives that are more progressive, while being culturally acceptable?
