The face of a hero

Here's another one, of many out there:

...Al-Hussein told the British Broadcasting Corporation that she wants a public flogging to make a point about the treatment of women in Sudan. She even sent out 500 invitations to witness her lashings.

"I'm not afraid from pain ... but flog is not pain, flog is (an) insult, insult to humans, insult to women," al-Hussein told the BBC.


"This happened in Khartoum and under the eye ... of media and all over the world ... to girl from Khartoum for only wearing trousers and sit in a restaurant," she said.

"I want people (to) imagine that. What can be happening to women in Darfur? This is my message."

My god. This kind of thing always hits me hard. I want so much for everyone to recognize little girls as /treasures/ and women as equals in every sense of the word.
