size=2>Nicaraguan human rights advocate Myrna Cunningham writes in the
Miami Herald that International Human Rights Day should include time for
reflection on violence against women worldwide, highlighting the fact that
women make up 80% of the casualties of war and 80% of the world's

for greater media coverage of violence against women, "and we must be on
the front pages." <A class=marginLink
