Culture Puts Women Last to Eat

Posted Oct 22 08 4:40pm

The Washington Post focuses on Burkina Faso, in Africa, for this heartbreaking story of women starving because their gender gives them literally no place at the family table when food is in short supply. Women working long hours for low pay, feeding men and children first, society putting a religious or cultural stamp of approval on the situation - I'm betting that happens in other places as well as Burkina Faso.
