[civsoc-mw] Women demo on equality.

[KPD]

Inu a Judge,

There are always people who get wronged and never open cases in court for
various reasons.

The appointment of people took a long time and NGOs even complained. Any
woman who was interested could have approached any of the 9 Tonse Alliance
parties. They could have approached the 13 presidential advisors. Could
have approached any of the NGOs.

No one can complain that you never considered their case if it didn't come
to court. You even meet people who lose their jobs, houses etc in the
street or in church. You can't give them judgement until their case is in
court.

We are making too many assumptions on this matter. Most prominent women
have secure jobs which preclude them from taking other responsibilities.
