Dear Mr. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon & UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka,
We would like to know what's being done to investigate the emerging data regarding the unprecedented and highly disturbing 50% increase in the death rate of rural American white women in their 40's and 50's since the 1990's. They are dying in numbers exceeding all other races, and we wonder what CEDAW is doing to address this hidden-from-view increase in their deaths.
“What we’re seeing is the strain of inequality on the middle class,” President Obama said.
“Erosion of the safety net,” Hillary Clinton said.
Sincerely, Emi Miller
