Thread Name: BS: Women's rights in Bangladesh
Subject: RE: BS: Women's rights in Bangladesh
I guess the question (once we've agreed that it's always terrible, no matter where it happens) is this: is there anything that we couch potatoes, or computer potatoes, can do to help or support the women, or to stop or hinder or suppress their kidnapping and enslavement? This is one of those issues that I think we tend to turn away from because we feel helpless, it's so far outside our sphere of influence. Sending ten bucks to the Red Cross isn't going to do anything about this. Wringing our hands doesn't feel productive either.
