The situation in the 1980s has
msly somewhat improved with
toxty today's changing attitudes and
values. Women have fought
their way out of traditional
labels and have proved that
they are strong and enduring. \
However, all of these victories
for women's rights go
unnoticed when it comes to the
draft, or even the draft
registration. In our opinion it is
time to remove all restrictions
placed upon women and explore
the vastness of their potential.
