The Administration's motive is to win support for increased U.S. military aid to that strife-torn nation, and the intensity of the effort is stunning...

It can also encourage women themselves to take basic steps to overcome the threat of violence and recover their independence--by providing free and easily accessible self-defense courses. The present self-defense course given by Arthur Fitzhugh of HUPD offers a glimmer of hope.
