Smile, women of Africa, Smile

It is a nice article (http://www.pambazuka.org/index.php?id=29962). However, see my comments after this paragraph: "How long will the women in Kenya have to camp on this renegade side of the Red Sea as they wait for the magic word 'ratification' to part the raging waters and usher them to that other side where gender discrimination, repulsive FGM, forced marriages and widow inheritance, domestic and sexual violence, etc. are a thing of the past?"

I am sorry to inform you that the other side of the Red Sea is composed of Ye-men, Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Arab world where women are grossly discriminated (against). I hope this is not the direction you want Kenyan women to head to.
