Dear readers, There are women who are sympathetic to another’s plight but they only go as far as wishing them well. Then there are those who go ahead to ‘free’ fellow women from their sticky situation. This week, Doreen Umutesi brings us the story of one such lady, Bineta Diop. Born in Muslim dominated Senegal, she beat all odds and cultural expectations on the place of women in society to become a human rights activist. In 1997, she was in Rwanda working with the late Aloysea Inyumba where they advocated for a peace movement all over Africa. She gives an expert opinion on various societal issues that hold back women and tells us how to get past them. In Man Talk, the boys advise a lady whose troubles might just end a great friendship – she constantly falls for her friend’s boyfriends! In our health column, find out how a pregnant epileptic can see to it that her unborn baby is not affected negatively by her condition. Find out more about the condition from our health columnist Dr Rachna Pande as she gives details on how to manage the condition. The Fashionista as always is here to keep you in vogue. She explains why tassels are the trend of the season and how to rock the look. Great week ahead.
