Women's Refugee Commision

Women are being singled out. They are beaten, raped and tortured as they scavenge firewood to feed thier families. Can you imagine wanting to feed your hungry family, and while looking for firewood you are attacked and raped?
Can you imagine life being so uncertain you do not know from one moment to the next where you will lay your head at night? Will you live to see the sun rise, or see your child's face in the morning? The Women's Refugee Commision is using it's voice and voices like yours to draw attention to the plight of millions of refugees in the Gaza strip, Darfur and Zimbabwe. Go to the site and add your voice. Read the reports and add your tears to theirs. Watch this video and feel what life is like for these women as they look for firewood.
