Half the sky

Whether I like it or not the Shafia trial enters my consciousness one way or another.  It never fails to illicit a strong mix of sadness and fury that begs the question: If women hold up half the sky, why is it that we shoulder almost all the weight and experience only a paltry piece of shelter?  

We need to change this because:

 “None of us is free, if one of us is chained.”
