As long as it doesn't involve military force I'm ok with agencies of one type or another working for the freedom of Saudi women. I still think I'm more concerned about baby raping in Africa though. So if I had a limited pot of cash, I would put my cash in the organizations working against baby and child rape, and against the actual enslavement of small children to work cocoa plantations, and other types of child enslavement, and child sex work. You can't work on everything, and I have to say that crimes against children are the most personally offensive to me.

What I would have you do is support US government and UN and other country's efforts to declare the Saudi enslavement of women wrong, unacceptable, and pressure them to change. That's what we do in human rights cases all over the world. What do you about Saudi women? And what do you mean about "enslavement"? Have you ever been to Saudi? If so when?

That's what we do in human rights cases all over the world. I think you make a good point. In 1995, Hillary Clinton, as first lady, launched what eventually became an entirely new strand of American foreign policy when she insisted at the UN's Fourth World Conference on Women that 'women's rights' must begin to be included as an integral part of the human rights agenda in global diplomatic dialogue. During her time in the White House, Hillary made more than 40 trips abroad and visited more than 80 countries. She frequently focused on women's rights when speaking abroad. So maybe she is a candidate you could vote for????
