10:42Now PlayingWe end our International Women's Day broadcast with the Indian feminist, activist and thinker Dr. Vandana Shiva. The author of many books, most recently "Making Peace with the Earth," Dr. Shiva discusses the impact on women by what she calls the world's "violent economic order," and the womenled uproar over sexual violence in India triggered by last year's brutal gang rape and murder of a 23yearold student in Delhi. A worldrenowned physicist, Dr. Shiva also addresses the recent U.S. Supreme Court case pitting an Indiana farmer against the agrigiant Monsanto. "The multiple wars against the earth through the economy, through greed, through capitalist patriarchal domination must end, and we have to recognize we are part of the earth," Dr. Shiva says. "The liberation of earth, the liberation of women, the liberation of all of humanity is the next step of freedom we need to work for, and it's the next step of peace that we need to create."
