I'm so surprise to see that Women's could participate in sports in Delhi games, its a very good news, i know i come late to comment on this post but believe me it's very nice to ear that.

Especially if the sport is http://www.casinolistings.fr from casino en ligne francais.

Where Insight and Action Connect

The International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) works to make women in developing countries an integral part of alleviating global poverty. Our research evidence identifies women’s contributions as well as the obstacles that prevent them from being economically strong and able to fully participate in society. ICRW translates these insights into a path of action that honors women’s human rights, ensures gender equality and creates the conditions in which all women can thrive.
