TAPE_NUMBER: EF99/0924 IN_TIME: 03:25:25 - 07:28:06 - 09:11:47 LENGTH: 02:26 SOURCES: APTN RESTRICTIONS: FEED: VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) SCRIPT: English/Nat Two years after fleeing her native country, a Ghanaian woman once threatened with genital mutilation, has been granted asylum by the United States. After spending most of those two years at an I-N-S (Immigration and Naturalization Service) detention centre in New York, Adelaide Abankwah was released a month ago on parole. Since being granted asylum, she spoke for the first time at a press conference in New York saying her new life in the U-S will give her a fresh start. Adelaide Abankwah is finally free to stay in the United States. And despite her nearly two year ordeal at an I-N-S detention centre in Queens, she's looking forward to becoming an "American." In her first public appearance since the U-S "Board of Immigration Appeals" granted her asylum, Adelaide Abankwah was tearful but relieved. SOUNDBITE: (English) "More than a month ago, I thought I would die in jail. But today, I'm here. I'm so happy to be free. I don't have to worry about being deported, or dying in jail." SUPER CAPTION: Adelaide Abankwah Adelaide, now 29, fled from a small rural village Ghana in 1997. She felt impelled to leave when she learnt that because she had lost her virginity before marriage, she would be forced to undergo genital mutilation at the hands of the village elders. The small rural tribe Ms. Abankwah comes from does not traditionally practise the procedure, but she was threatened with it after her mother died. She had to face a physical examination to prove her worthy of succession as "queen mother." The female figurehead is supposed to be a virgin - Ms. Abankwah wasn't. After fleeing to America via Rome, she was caught with an altered passport at Kennedy Airport, then incarcerated. While she waited for the I-N-S to decide her fate, she suffered weight-loss, depression, and contracted a number of illnesses including tuberculosis. At that time a number of high profile organisations, including "Equality Now" and the women's magazine "Marie Claire" waged a highly publicised campaign to free her. They enlisted a number of politicians and spokeswomen feminist icon Gloria Steinem. Steinem admonished authorities for detaining Adelaide Abankwah while the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and later the courts, decided her fate. SOUNDBITE: (English) "I'm so happy and proud to have her as a citizen of the United States. We're so lucky to have this woman here of such courage and intelligence. And I think that as Americans we need to really look at the ways in which the access to our country is being restricted, without our knowledge, without our voting, without our understanding even of what the motives are." SUPER CAPTION: Gloria Steinem, Women's Rights Activist Female Genital Mutilation, or FGM, is widely practiced in Africa, Asia and Middle East, and involves the removal of all - or part of the female genitalia. The purpose of FGM is to repress women's sexual desire and keep her faithful to her husband. Roughly two (m) million women around the world undergo FGM annually. And although Ghana has outlawed the practice, 15-30% of women there are subjected to it. For now, Ms. Abankwah is awaiting an employment permit and staying with a minister in the South Bronx, New York. SOUNDBITE: (English) "I will now begin to enjoy my life in America. I plan to study at Marrimont Manhattan college to get my GED (high-school equivalency test). I will also get a part-time job and volunteer at Equality Now." SUPER CAPTION: Adelaide Abankwah At the press conference, supporters presented her with an American flag. Adelaide says she will not return to Ghana.

There are those who want to create..undermine what we must do in our communities..i want you know that there's been openness in dialogue ...there are those who've said..we don't know if there's been enough inclusion in the Kerry campaign..no one's fought harder than I have...there's the same diversity in the Kerry campaign as there was in the Clinton campaigning in the same stage...don't confuse job hunters 14:41:51 I see a commitment by Mr. Kerry that this will not happen..I remember one night in Atlanta,,if you were to party, who'd you party with..I said...It was Mrs. Kerry..the reason i said that was not because of her vivaciousness..i watched her in the campaign..she was sensitive..some people say she's too blunt..i think we're ready for a first lady who says what she means and means what she says 14:43:09 (on ?..overseeing voter registration) 14:45:17 ? woman at podium 14:53:19 black 14:58:37 ? on Theresa Kerry...(refers to The state of US ecosystem...published Aug. 2002..women's advocacy record 15:00:35 ? intros Theresa Kerry. 15:00:48 THK walkup 15:00:55 thank you so much...and to Ms. Jordan...I know you have 2 daughters..17 and 15..tomorrow is your day..this is an important ..for all women..more important even for AA and Latino women, therefore for all families because a woman unwell is not a well family. so women need to be healthy, well and supported to do what they need to do in addition to what they might outside of being a mother 15:02:36 i was in California..didn't not want to miss Rev Sharpton's conference. I first met Rev Sharpton in S. Carolina at the first debate. the stars were having pre-TV stuff done to their faces..my husband was on one chair, Sharpton on the other, Carol Mosely ..I said Rev., you are such a funny man..you really can make a point better than anyone else..John turned around and said...that's my wife. then Carol walked in and gave me a hug...and so that's how I met the Rev. 15:04:09 after that every time we went to these encounters called debates..i always knew I'd have a hug and some reality when i met the Reverend. and pretty tense moments...most people forget it's human beings when you go to those things..as person first, competitor after..and that's who he is and you're really lucky to have him 15:05:03 we were really lucky to have him in those debates..he was the uniter..always about looking at the long term..synthesizer..and that's a great gift and we need more of that in politics...the reason why REv Sharpton said..he'd like to party with me was because..i said...I'd like to go to..so they were good moments 15:06:04 something I'd like to talk about..is the march towards civil rights for all people..reason is because i was born and raised in Africa..dictatorship under Portugal..my father couldn't vote until he was 71 yrs old..we couldn't even talk about politics..i was taught..never outside of the house...i have to say my country didn't know it was ..we did not have an apartheid south Africa..all schools, buses, restaurants were open.. 15:07:36 then i went to university in Johannesburg...i learned for the first time what that meant..i began to understand hatred...how destructive it really was. I studied government...soviet, British, American..found the American very interesting...they actually had compromise for the common good..could speak freely...people were optimistic..it was an amazing revelation for me. my class was 80 students, 4 girls..(on friend who was an anti-apartheid fighter)...Chinese, Afrikaner..who i thought was a spy.. 15:09:51 third world country in the 50's...no civil rights in terms of voting in my country..and no civil or human rights for Africans in S. Africa..then saw how different it was (MIKE PROBLEMS)***** 15:10:30 And so i thought the whole idea of America went from being geography to an idea..and when you see how very young America still is...in a sense you're 21 years old..we've been a generous, creative country..of possibility in the eyes of the world..but right now we're having hiccups and everything and not doing to well..so what I'm working with is towards that day when there is a reason in people's minds why they want to vote..in my country it was for freedom 15:11:55 in my country i marched..in 1957 - 59...that higher education bill passed in 1959..thereafter the universities were split except for medical schools...then riots..then Nelson Mandela..so that's a very important period of history...People unfortunately in this country have so much..that they don't understand neither the beauty of our democracy..or it doesn't live and countries 15:13:14 so I've always for 32 yrs involved with politics with my husband and with John...so i think of the despair, AIDS and hunger, and refugees, and women and children..the wars, all the wars...what is the face of America that people what to see? it's the face of help..that says i want to love your children...it's a happy positive generous face..that's the best of Amer to me..we need a massive effort like that for our country and for rest of the world.... 15:14:40 as we talk about women...(MIKE ISSUES)...I found a couple of statistics from study 10 months ago..for first time last election, the majority of women voted against self interest..what did that and who are they? so i did some analysis...for ex., 22m unmarried women did not vote., 16m unmarried were not even registered, 36% of all registered not registered are unmarried, and 46% of all voting aged women are unmarried. so we are 56% unmarried women and 46% of voting age women are unmarried 15:16:23 so a couple fo things we know for sure..this is even outside of unmarried women with kids...whether it's education, savings, pay equity, getting social security..whatever the issues are..women have more at stake in being part of the govt than any other group. because we are the nurturers of the family..we get penalized time and again 15:17:19 even if a woman has same degree as a man..both lawyers, work same hours, leve, that woman has children goes home, sick parent ...has to leave the workplace..being penalized 25 yrs later..because the cumulative aspect of her earnings..predict what her earnings will be. women on average stay in the workforce 4 years...law has said, need 5 years .. 15:18:31 until 1996..asked Carol..only woman in the finance committee in the Senate..at that moment a woman who either earned some money ..or whose husband or parents gave her the moeny..if she wasn't in the workplace she couldn't put more than 250..we talk about being industrialized nation..with the least amount of savings..i hadn't known that 15:19:44 she went back to Washington, rules changed in 6 weeks..so there are alot of laws like that..punitive...were written when women were in a different place. Women can't do without Social Security...in Oregon, AA gentleman..great speaker..at end of testimony he was crying...she said...i'm 31 yrs old, have 3 girls, my husban's left, but i'm blessed because ..i live on $7,400 / yr...but would so like to get my GED...this in 2000 is shocking...(story about a mother put $5/week into an envelope for another day...tried to create a state savings account for children; Social security was part of the tripod, the 3-.egged stool) 15:22:41 second it has to be explained that women should fight for the right for the chance..to get a better job, to not get beaten up, of becoming whatever you say...they have to understand ..can't allow themselves to be victims..or have kids have asthma...22% of kids in Harlem suffer from asthsma..i had a child with asthsma..he had good doctors but it was scary..and these children miss school, don't feel welll, don't get enough sleep, and it's terrible and in excusable that our admin. has gone back on clean air and water...that have been bi-partisan..it's a sin against (humanity?)************** 15:24:39 it's one thing of people who say they have family values..we should leave these in good shape for our kids..and it's not really possible to deliver what we want for our kids..if thye're not healthy we can't et there 15:25:21 has got to be primary....school every child in america from 0 -8 will have the very best pre=natal attention...development from 0 - 3 and beginnins of cognitive development from 0-8 . this is imperative not only morally but in terms of economics and the well being of the nation..period. 15:26:44 along side this lost committment to children..not have to go home to an empty house. 3 all children should have arts in school..in that precious time from 2 -7..third, NCLB means all children are being left behind right now. the cynicism of having a program with this title..then not only not fund it..but cutting back funds..i don't think they can believe we're such simpletons we can't see that ********** 15:29:43 end of ftg

Africa..then saw how different it was (MIKE PROBLEMS)***** 15:10:30 And so i thought the whole idea of America went from being geography to an idea..and when you see how very young America still is...in a sense you're 21 years old..we've been a generous, creative country..of possibility in the eyes of the world..but right now we're having hiccups and everything and not doing to well..so what I'm working with is towards that day when there is a reason in people's minds why they want to vote..in my country it was for freedom 15:11:55 in my country i marched..in 1957 - 59...that higher education bill passed in 1959..thereafter the universities were split except for medical schools...then riots..then Nelson Mandela..so that's a very important period of history...People unfortunately in this country have so much..that they don't understand neither the beauty of our democracy..or it doesn't live and countries 15:13:14 so I've always for 32 yrs involved with politics with my husband and with John...so i think of the despair, AIDS and hunger, and refugees, and women and children..the wars, all the wars...what is the face of America that people what to see? it's the face of help..that says i want to love your children...it's a happy positive generous face..that's the best of Amer to me..we need a massive effort like that for our country and for rest of the world.... 15:14:40 as we talk about women...(MIKE ISSUES)...I found a couple of statistics from study 10 months ago..for first time last election, the majority of women voted against self interest..what did that and who are they? so i did some analysis...for ex., 22m unmarried women did not vote., 16m unmarried were not even registered, 36% of all registered not registered are unmarried, and 46% of all voting aged women are unmarried. so we are 56% unmarried women and 46% of voting age women are unmarried 15:16:23 so a couple fo things we know for sure..this is even outside of unmarried women with kids...whether it's education, savings, pay equity, getting social security..whatever the issues are..women have more at stake in being part of the govt than any other group. because we are the nurturers of the family..we get penalized time and again 15:17:19 even if a woman has same degree as a man..both lawyers, work same hours, leve, that woman has children goes home, sick parent ...has to leave the workplace..being penalized 25 yrs later..because the cumulative aspect of her earnings..predict what her earnings will be. women on average stay in the workforce 4 years...law has said, need 5 years .. 15:18:31 until 1996..asked Carol..only woman in the finance committee in the Senate..at that moment a woman who either earned some money ..or whose husband or parents gave her the moeny..if she wasn't in the workplace she couldn't put more than 250..we talk about being industrialized nation..with the least amount of savings..i hadn't known that 15:19:44 she went back to Washington, rules changed in 6 weeks..so there are alot of laws like that..punitive...were written when women were in a different place. Women can't do without Social Security...in Oregon, AA gentleman..great speaker..at end of testimony he was crying...she said...i'm 31 yrs old, have 3 girls, my husban's left, but i'm blessed because ..i live on $7,400 / yr...but would so like to get my GED...this in 2000 is shocking...(story about a mother put $5/week into an envelope for another day...tried to create a state savings account for children; Social security was part of the tripod, the 3-.egged stool) 15:22:41 second it has to be explained that women should fight for the right for the chance..to get a better job, to not get beaten up, of becoming whatever you say...they have to understand ..can't allow themselves to be victims..or have kids have asthma...22% of kids in Harlem suffer from asthsma..i had a child with asthsma..he had good doctors but it was scary..and these children miss school, don't feel welll, don't get enough sleep, and it's terrible and in excusable that our admin. has gone back on clean air and water...that have been bi-partisan..it's a sin against (humanity?)************** 15:24:39 it's one thing of people who say they have family values..we should leave these in good shape for our kids..and it's not really possible to deliver what we want for our kids..if thye're not healthy we can't et there 15:25:21 has got to be primary....school every child in america from 0 -8 will have the very best pre=natal attention...development from 0 - 3 and beginnins of cognitive development from 0-8 . this is imperative not only morally but in terms of economics and the well being of the nation..period. 15:26:44 along side this lost committment to children..not have to go home to an empty house. 3 all children should have arts in school..in that precious time from 2 -7..third, NCLB means all children are being left behind right now. the cynicism of having a program with this title..then not only not fund it..but cutting back funds..i don't think they can believe we're such simpletons we can't see that ********** 15:29:43 end of ftg
