While these stories both break and lift my heart, you only have to look - in real time - to politics in the US to see these risks playing out. On the one hand, we have our first woman of colour standing for president. On the other, we have an opposition suggesting that women without children have less value (childless cat ladies are on the bottom rung) implying that there's only one role of value for American women. Motherhood. Never mind the drum-beat of denigration or sexualization of women in general, and the erosion of women's reproductive rights. If you have the right to vote in the USA, please exercise it and vote for Kamala Harris. The alternative is marching us closer toward Afghanistan.
Thank you for this share, KP. Michelle Obama asked that people "do something." Hoping that people do vote and ensure that the risks you mention are mitigated.
