~Helfrich and Sholock

Women's studies scholars object to professional association's new stance on representation from women's centers workers.

Islam's way to end violence against women? Civilized men by Qasim Rashid. "A woman's dress, marital status, and lifestyle do not inspire violence against women. Stop blaming women."
