Gloria and I are determined to make this an organizing meeting, not just a one-way speech, and the way to do that is to tell our own stories so that we can invite others to tell theirs. I explain that I gave up a journalism job to start Apne Aap, together with 22 women in prostitution; all of us with the lofty aim of living to see a world in which no woman is bought or sold. I had won an Emmy for field producing a documentary, “The Selling of Innocents” on sex-trafficking from the villages of Nepal to the brothels of Mumbai, but wanted to do more than just write about the issue.
After my story, Gloria tells hers. She, too, was striving to make a living as a journalist, when she went as a reporter to cover women who were telling their own abortion experiences in public in order to explain why this procedure should become legal. That is when she realized that women were restricted, to not just be cheap labor themselves, but also to produce cheap labor or heirs. After all, their bodies were the means of the most fundamental production — reproduction. She found the media at that time limiting — they would treat women’s issues as cultural and men’s issues as political — and so started Ms. magazine, which changed how women’s issues were reported forever.

According to the National Women’s Law Center study in September of 2013, In 2012, African-American women working full time, year round were paid only 64 cents, and Hispanic women only 54 cents, for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men – wage gaps that are both wider than for women overall.
This translates to a loss of $18,650 for African-American Women, and $24,111 for Hispanic women in 2012.

The tech industry has a gender problem.
Let's consider this: Women comprise only about a quarter of all employees at tech behemoths Apple, Google, Facebook, Oracle and Microsoft. When it comes to launching tech ventures, the situation only gets worse: Just 10% of high-growth tech company founders are women.

RAMALLAH, West Bank — Twenty-six women were slain by relatives in the West Bank and Gaza in 2013, twice as many as the year before, according to official figures. The rise stems from mounting economic difficulties in the Palestinian territories, compounded by ongoing leniency for those killing in the name of "family honor" and social acceptance of violence against women, women's rights activists said

KABUL, Afghanistan — Advocates say that women’s rights and security in Afghanistan are under mounting assault from all sides — the Taliban insurgency and the government alike — putting at risk 12 years of hard-won gains for women here.
The country’s Parliament is about to approve legislation that would strip away crucial legal protections. The insurgents have mounted a string of violent attacks on female officials. And advocates for women are deeply worried by the news that President Hamid Karzai has been negotiating secretly with the Taliban, who enforced hard-line, fundamentalist restrictions on women during their years in power.

A 2002 Justice Department study suggested that more than 1.6 million American juveniles run away or are kicked out of their home each year. Ernie Allen, a former president of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, has estimated that at least 100,000 kids are sexually trafficked each year in the United States.

Each year hundreds of thousands of young Indonesian women like Ms. Erwiana fan out across Asia and the Middle East to live in the homes of local people and serve as their domestic helpers — cooking, cleaning and caring for children and the elderly. Most send a portion of their salary home to their families every month, fueling an Indonesian economy that relies on remittances. More than 320,000 foreign domestic helpers live in Hong Kong, a city of seven million people, and close to half of them come from Indonesia.

In the past few months, Republicans have called Wendy Davis, a Democratic candidate for Texas governor, “Abortion Barbie,” likened Alison Lundergan Grimes, a Senate candidate from Kentucky, to an “empty dress,” criticized Hillary Rodham Clinton’s thighs, and referred to a pregnant woman as a “host.”
Democrats do not just get mad when they hear those words. They cash in.
