      Dear President OBAMA, We all know that you suffered a lot until you reached your position as a president of the USA. Unfortunately although you lived the life of poverty and struggle, when you became a president you disregarded the sufferings of depressed people. In any religion GOD would not accept the crimes taking place in Syria. GOD will not tolerate those who let down the Syrian people and left them up for grabs to the tyrant BASHAR who slaughters their children and women every day. We know that you are a man of principles and we do hope that you would do something to stop these crimes against our people.

    Every year, 10 million girls under the age of 18 become child brides...many of those girls are forced into early marriage, which robs them of the opportunity to continue their education, it threatens their health, & it traps them in lives of poverty. Evidence shows us, & common sense would show us as well, that education can delay & even prevent child marriage, it can raise incomes, & it certainly can improve health.

    Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues, Melanne Verveer:
    "We have no illusions about the future. From a dearth of basic infrastructure, to the many political prisoners still languishing in jail, to the ongoing ethnic violence and continuing human rights violations against women, the road toward freedom and prosperity for Burma is still far from certain."

    "Respect for peaceful protests and freedom of assembly is a hallmark of a democratic society, and the government holds a responsibility to protect and uphold those freedoms. We heard last week that the political parties we met have generally been able to travel the country, hold rallies, and get their messages out to the voters with whom they meet."
