FLASHPOINTS

International Womens Day in Egypt

Today on a special edition of Flashpoints, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of international women’s day. We’ll take a close look at a women’s right to choose, and at continuing attempts by the extreme right to undermine a women’s access to a safe abortion. Also, we’ll be speaking to an Iranian activist who was part of the revolution in her country and is now covering the revolts in the Middle East and in North Africa. And Senior Correspondent Kevin Pina interviews Selma James, the founder and coordinator of the Global Women’s Strike.
