It's long past time we started focusing on the solutions that actually keep women healthy, instead of using basic aspects of women's health as a tool of cultural, moral, and political control.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We should not continue to play politics with women's health.
Women's health needs to be front and center - it often isn't, but it needs to be.
We are bringing women into politics to change the nature of politics, to change the vision, to change the institutions. Women are not wedded to the policies of the past. We didn't craft them. They didn't let us.
We live in an era of globalization and the era of the woman. Never in the history of the world have women been more in control of their destiny.
But the idea that women can't take care of themselves still permeates our culture.
I would like to see a lot of people more involved in practical solutions to practical problems. Women have got to the point where we can turn the world upside down.
The greatest public health threat for many American women is the men they live with.
We can't be empowered women in our career and strong women in our relationships if it weren't for the fact that we're healthy.
Whether it's repro rights, violence against women, or just plain old vanilla sexism, most issues affecting women have one thing in common - they exist to keep women 'in their place.' To make sure that we're acting 'appropriately,' whatever that means.
The serious problems facing the world today will never be solved until women are able to use their full potential on behalf of themselves, their families, and their global and local communities, as the World Bank and others have discovered.
