Our Government should stop giving foreign aid to governments where so much of it goes into military spending and spreading brutality in their countries and around the world, by causing other countries to intervene in their interior wars. There are women standing up for change in their countries, forming groups to help settle disputes peacefully, fighting for education for everyone and other more humane resolutions to problems. We ask for more of our foreign aid to go directly to women's groups fighting for change around the world.
Why is this important?
Our Government should stop giving foreign aid to governments where so much of it goes into military spending and spreading brutality in their countries and around the world, by causing other countries to intervene in their interior wars. I watched programs on PBS about women who are standing up for change in their countries. I think more of our foreign aid should go directly to them. Then we will see a change for women's rights and for more humane societies.
