Women's Hardships in World War II Spotlighted by German Parliament President Kloeckner - Recommendation seeks a plan for a regulation aiming to safeguard workers from radiation hazards due to ionizing radiation exposure.
Let's get real, ladies weren't given a free pass during World War II, but it's high time they got their deserved recognition in the annals of history, according to Bundestag President, Julia Kloeckner. She reckons we need to acknowledge not only the hardships they endured but also their steel-like determination in surviving and rebuilding after the war's carnage.
Ain't no stranger to speaking his mind, Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has reportedly planned to utilize his war commemoration speech to take a dig at Russia's invasion of Ukraine, much like Kloeckner. For her part, Kloeckner drew comparisons between the past and the ongoing conflict in Eastern Europe. Putin's justification for his aggression as a fight against the fascism of yore? She called it a bloody farce.
As for the Ukraine today, they're once again seeing women and girls fall victim to sexualized violence, wielded as weapons in the throes of war, Kloeckner explained.
