I wish I had known about this before today. I work in this area and have written extensively on this subject.

Hello MS Sheeley,
I wish I knew you sooner too because we need all the help for this cause because as you know it is very hard to change or stop things when it is against women and especially in Middle East and during this horrible War and Occupation, but we still need to expose, witness and educate our selves and others.
I hope you can join us tonight if possible.
In Solidarity,
Sureya Sayadi
