Quote:Affirmative action for women should be placed higher our social justice agendas. Both at the political level and religious level.

Do you agree?

Is this what you mean?

Quote:Affirmative action refers to policies that take factors including "race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation or national origin"[1] into consideration in order to benefit an underrepresented group, usually as a means to counter the effects of a history of discrimination.

If so,no I do not agree. I have never supported positive discrimination. I fail to see how one injustice can be addressed by imposing another.
