Half The Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide

This is a follow up on the post I just wrote about Sheryl DuWann. I just checked out her website, and I figured I would continue to do my part and Spread the Word.

Half the Sky lays out an agenda for the world's women and three major abuses: sex trafficking and forced prostitution; gender-based violence including honor killings and mass rape; maternal mortality, which needlessly claims one woman a minute. We know there are many worthy causes competing for attention in the world. We focus on this one because this kind of oppression feels transcendent – and so does the opportunity. Outsiders can truly make a difference.


The best way to fight poverty and extremism is to EDUCATE and EMPOWER women and girls.

Until Next Time...
