UN Conference

Yes… there was another reason I came to Columbia University – because it is in New York. The United Nations also happens to be in New York. What a happy coincidence!

“It’s just a bunch of men with guns who forgive other men with guns for crimes against women” ~ Donald Steinberg speaking about accountability problems over issues of rape being used as a weapon of war.
