Kenya's presidential candidate Martha Karua attends a prayer rally in Kenya's capital Nairobi February 24, 2013. Violence, a deeply chauvinistic society and a lack of cash are locking women out of elected office in Kenya, east Africa's leading economy but a laggard when it comes to female representation. Karua, the former justice minister nicknamed the "Iron Lady" after the steely former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, is the only female presidential candidate in the March 4 vote.

Trinity High School social studies teacher Chad Waggoner, left, listens as Buddy Dumeyera, the Louisville deputy coroner who runs the indigent burial program, speaks to students from the St. Joseph of Arimathea Society at Trinity High School before prayer Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2013 at Meadow View Cemetery in Louisville, Ky. Counties across Kentucky, like much of the country, are seeing more cases of unclaimed bodies and families who can't afford to bury or cremate a loved one. Every situation is unique, but coroners and local government officials tell a similar story: The economic downturn has left many people without the money to pay for funeral services that can cost thousands of dollars, and it's falling on cities and states to cover the bills.
