On July 22, 2002, Colin Powell announced that the Bush Administration
was not going to release the $34 million Congress had approved for
UNFPA. On that date, Lois Abraham and I started asking 34 million
Americans and others for $1.
 
In this July, 2012, 34 Million Friends is asking you for $10 for the
Tenth!
 
Statement by Jane: Gender inequality is the moral scourge and the moral 
challenge of the age. The United Nations Population Fund is at the core
of the fight for women’s health, education, human rights and equality.
It is the most noble of all causes and most important going forward for
people, the planet and peace.

Fascinating article showing how religion (any religion, not just Islam)
can deeply ingrain gender inequality in both men and women.
This is only one small example.
