8 March

Today on International women's day, I scanned the media for highlights and campaigns focussing on this - and found very little! Perhaps more will see it as the day goes on?

Anyway, Amnesty International looks at women in the Nairobi slum of Kibera, and Al-Jazeera wrote on women at risk, quoting UN envoy Yakin Erturk (see an older interview here).

BBC and Oxfam highlight the lack of services for women in Iraq.

So far, only Aftonbladet seems to have an editorial theme...

Last but not least - HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY, sister!

Update: oh yes, at least Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet have themes today, at least one article each found here and here and much more reading can be found on their webpages.

By the way, this is really cool!
