Secretary-General António Guterres warned Monday that women are suffering “new assaults on their safety and dignity” around the world, pointing to extremists subjugating women and governments curtailing women’s freedoms and rolling back laws against domestic violence.
He told the opening session of the Commission on the Status of Women that educating and empowering women will unleash their potential and prevent “challenges that arise from violent extremism, human rights violations, xenophobia and other threats.”

Our world need more liberal women to publicly name the prime culprits in the world-wide assaults on women -- Moslems. The reason they don't do this is two-fold:
1) They have a paralyzing fear of being considered "racists" (even thought Islam isn't a race).
2) They have "enemy of my enemy is my friend" mentality about Moslems. Leftists/feminists and Moslems have many of the same enemies -- Christians and our Judeo-Christian tradition, Israel, white men, personal responsibility, and sanity. Hence, the bedfellow status of fembots and Muzzies.
