Is the war against sexual inequality over? Far from it...

Major organisations worldwide are using International Women’s Day 2004 to expose the proliferation of sexual violence against women, and the increasing numbers of women infected by HIV/AIDS, both trends directly aggravated by continuing gender inequality.

"From the battlefield to the bedroom, women are at risk. They are the first to feel the lack of poor social services, the first to be denied education and health care. The effects of economic globalization are leaving more and more women trapped in poverty on the margins of society. Poverty leaves women more exposed to violence, less able to escape it. It severely restricts women's ability to organize and fight for change. In this, as in so many other ways, governments are failing to address the real 'terror' of our world that millions of women face every day."
