How has U.S. foreign policy affected women in the Middle East and at home? On the next Your Call, we'll mark International Women's Day by speaking with women's rights activists about what changes they expect to see under Obama administration. In the run up to the invasion of Iraq, the Bush administration took to the airwaves promising it would "liberate women," but the realities tell a different story. You can join the conversation by emailing feedback@yourcallradio.org. What changes do you hope to see? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
