Excerpt from the blog of Helen Cacheux, candidate for Legislative 8th district, the Left Party 12 January 2012.
"The International Crisis Group warned, rightly, that" In the present context, an offensive by the Malian army forces supported by the CEDAEO and / or other forces is likely to cause more civilian casualties in the north, aggravate insecurity and economic and social conditions in the country, radicalizing ethnic communities, promote expression of all violent extremist groups, and finally lead all the region into a multifaceted conflict without front line in the Sahara.” Excerpt from the blog of Helen Cacheux, candidate for Legislative 8th district, the Left Party 12 January 2012. These consequences are particularly serious for women. Vulnerability that is on everyone's lips, should be present in all minds when making decisions, and deterrent when war can be avoided.

At this risk must be added that a more or less disguised prostitution which usually develops in areas of high insecurity and therefore the risk of spreading HIV / AIDS. The plan for military intervention on which the Security Council is going to look it provides means to actually put women and girls in Mali immune to this type of disastrous situation?
