Gender discrimination

The Opinion page article "A Test of Canada's Gender Equality," Nov. 18, is excellent. It is disgraceful that Western governments support countries such as Kuwait and Saudi Arabia that practice gender discrimination in blatant violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Please publish more articles in the same vein as this one. Cynthia Salvadori, Northampton, Mass.
