Blog #11 International Council of Women

There are many issues out there are are centered around women. For instance abortion rights. Rather a person is for or against abortion, having the choice to have it done legally or not touches on the freedom that women have to make choices about their own bodies. The International Council of Women also known as ICW, is a worldwide federation of National Councils of Women, which work together on international issues of concern specific only to women. International council of Women is an umbrella organization whose membership consists of National Councils of Women from many nations. This organizaions promotes equal rights and responsiblities for all people regardless of their sex. The elimanation of all forms of discriminations is the ultimate goal. Back in the older days, men had all the power. Women's issues were put aside. Many women's organizations were founded in order to promote peace internationally, general well-being and the right of vote for women. ICW just tries to save the progress that those women have made and make the pain they went through worth while.
