Dignity is a feminist Issue

Zimbabwean women want Dignity.Period!

Imagine...a world without Kotex...and you have HIV...

No it's not a joke. It's a health problem for women in Zimbabwe, especially those who have to work outside the home to support their family.

Update: I suggest you send them a couple boxes of THESE...
Sorry, I'm in a foul mood today, and the absurdity of buying expensive Hellokitty liners just hits me as...absurd.

I mean, when I worked in Africa, we rewashed bandages and syringes and gloves. In our hospital, we got six pairs of new gloves a month for a hospital with 200 patients and 100 deliveries a month. That was before HIV. And the dirty little secret is that some HIV is spread because self taught practitioners use needles and make "muti cuts" made with unsterile blades. End of rant.
