All resources must be exhausted by all capable parties to extract and relocate, until the 'men' work out their bloodshed contest, the children and women to areas safe from harm's way. Wherever possible globally. This must be done immediately, and need not be some centralized location. We can provide what habitats possible, no matter How limited, so that these women and children need not suffer any longer. How can we deny them?

Airlift them out! What other human alternative is there? Where are these women to turn? How can the global community be so tied up in imaginary money that it can neglect it's physically vulnerable so?

These men direly need education about the cranial nerves, about nerve zero, about the hormone glands, about why the body does what it does, and how these men need not be submissive to the impulses drawn from a certain proportion of hormones coursing through their bodies, unless they surrender to just that specific fate. But they are blocking out the consequences. The Scarring to the culture, the people, the land, to the women, their children, the hope for a prosperity outside of their allowing themselves to be dominated by such minute differences between the sexes. The men are not dominating the women. They are enslaving themselves.

This is a sexual apartheid that exists in the mind, the shackles of which can only be broken through knowledge, through understanding, through reasoning, through an unfolding sense of love and respect. An opening of heart.
