Thank you and goodnight
What a day of debates it has been! We started off with women in Samoa and Australia, and we wound down with our panellists in Argentina and Chile – stopping many times in many countries along the way, from India to Uganda to Belgium and the US. Here are some of the highlights of the day:
- A Sierra Leone women’s group’s song for gender equality
- The self-possessed schoolgirls of Nara in Japan
- The debate about whether it is ever okay for a woman to be subservient
- Afghan MP Shinkai Karokhail describing how the “uneducated and under-empowered half” of Afghan society is bringing up the other half
We hope you found our day of debate informative and entertaining. Thank you for staying with us.
