The Importance Of Women

Submitted by: Neal Sengupta

Hey everyone! This is my entry to the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada's 25@25 contest. My theme/short phrase is "The Importance of Women". To me, the mistreatment of females is one of the biggest issues regarding Canada-Asia relations. My belief is that female infanticide, sex-selective abortions, violence against women, and denying women access to education is wrong. In the allotted 25-year timeframe, I believe Canada should work on improving the livelihood of women all across Asia, if not the world.

I would love to hear everyone's comments and feedback; please feel free to comment below! Freedom, of course, is what Canadian society is all about. =)

The song used at the end is Sarah MacLachlan's "Angel" (Arista Records).
