Hi everyone. Tonni and I wanted to introduce ourselves and our monthly segment, Global Exchange<\/em>, which will normally appear every 4th Wednesday. Since we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in the last days of the election, however, and this month we get an extra Wednesday, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve decided to hold off until next week, when we will offer an election special. We agree with Ruth Rosen<\/a> and the folks over at the Center for New Words<\/a>: there just hasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t been enough focus on women in this year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s election. And, from our perspective, this is especially so when it comes to foreign policy. Both candidates talk about the war in Iraq – but how is it affecting women \u00e2\u20ac\u201c both U.S. vets and Iraqi civilians<\/a>? Both candidates talk about health care at home. But what are the candidates\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 positions on the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcGlobal Gag Rule\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the policy that prevented thousands of women<\/a> from accessing U.S. funded health programs worldwide? Senator Obama opposes CAFTA<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c what will this mean for women? So stay tuned\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 next week Global Exchange<\/em> will bring you our assessment of how the foreign policy proposals of both candidates will affect women around the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey all, I am completely excited to announce that GWP will be going global with a new column from Gwen and Tonni called Global Exchange.
