Global warming is going to force women into prostitution? This is crazy.

will hurt "marginalized" women, such as refugees, sexual minorities, adolescent girls, and women and girls with HIV.

I have heard an interesting point of view on this. It states that sending food for perpetually short of food people feeds them for the moment and results in even more pregnancies which compounds the problem. The way it results in more pregnancies is that it improves the health of the people for a short period which increases fertility.....

Yes it's actually cruel to send food aid alone without anything to deal with the bigger issues surrounding why they were hungry to begin with.

We need more global warming here, it's in the 30's and to the north and west it's snowing. Some places have gotten up to 13 inches and it's still snowing!
