Hi all
Received this from a friend, and given a recent discussion here about the participation of women as speakers in a one day event, thought it makes for good reading and maybe will even foster some debate. Many will have also noticed that one of the first measures taken by the new Brazilian president, Mr Temer, who failed to appoint a single woman to his cabinet, was to abolish a few ministries, including the Ministry for Women Affairs, thus setting Brazil backwards by several decades (sigh).
