I just went to Debi's website and added a comment and emailed the UK government. Need to check if Ireland has signed. Probably not. <strong>jb says</strong>: Great, Ruth. You're an activist. But we still need a few more. Thanks John for writing about this. I just went to Debi’s website and added a comment and emailed the UK government. Need to check if Ireland has signed. Probably not.

I couldn't seem to find much about whether our government will do so anytime soon. We're headed for national elections in early 2007, so I fear it won't get much coverage. Let's hope the local NGOs can keep pushing it up the agenda though. <strong>jb says</strong>: Yes, NGOs and human rights groups are quite active on this at the moment. But it does need publicizing as much as possible. Belgium seems to have signed but not yet ratified it. I couldn’t seem to find much about whether our government will do so anytime soon.

I think she's actually based a book on the subject. <strong>jb says</strong>: Thanks Bill, I've just been over there for a look. The link is <a title="debi alper" href="http://debialper.blogspot.com/2006/11/women-for-sale-life-is-cheap.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Debi's blog on the subject, like mine, is based on the latest Amnesty leaflet. But listen; I didn't know about Debi's post until you pointed it out, which just goes to show that a whole lot of people need to blog about the subject before we make an impact. Put something on your blog, please (link to me or Debi or both), and ask people to pass it on.
