Calling all feminists for Zimbabwe
Doug Hagler has an important post up on the group Women of Zimbabwe Arise! (WOZA); like most Zimbabwean groups that care about anything other than keeping Robert Mugabe in power, they've been taking a pounding from the government and its affiliated thugs. In a pattern drearily familiar from corrupt and brutal tyrannies throughout history, the abuse of women to keep the opposition down is a real problem under Mugabe's misrule, which makes it particularly important, I think, to support WOZA's peaceful witness.

Thanks for linking to that post, I never know if anyone reads them.
We should do a dual post sometime!
That would be fun. We'll have to think of an appropriate topic . . .
I'll confess, I read pretty near everybody erratically; but I appreciated that post of yours more than most, because Zimbabwe's dear to my heart.
Ok, I'll put it one one of the dozens of "back burners" I have running at the moment and see what simmers to the top.
