Glam Girl coverage of the War Against Women

I'm not sure how I feel about Eve Ensler, but I respect her efforts. In this overly dramatic coverage of a serious international issue, she talks about violence against women in the Congo. She heaps shitloads of praise on the OB/GYN that works to save them.

It can be graphic at times, but it is really the only way to understand a sliver of what happens to women in war torn countries.

While I am happy to see that a mainstream mag like Glamour is covering this issue, I still think they are part of the system that contributes to an overall devaluing of women.
