Today is International Women's Day 2009

It is now more dangerous to be a woman
than to be a soldier
in modern conflict.

- Maj Gen Patrick Cammaert,
Former commander of UN forces, eastern Congo (DRC)

A day to remember women around the world, especially those who are suffering unspeakable pain and violence. View the slideshow from The UN Refugee Agency.

Open Doors

Not knowing when the dawn will come,

I open every door.

- Emily Dickinson
