Women In Palestine And Their Rights When will this all end' My knowledge about the world has always been based on how the United States functions and the rights that are given to everyone and that’s including me, a woman.

Death Penalty Death Penalty I am the mother of the young girl who is kidnapped and beaten to death. I am the sister of the woman who is raped, tortured, and murdered.
