HALF THE SKY
Really excited to watch this on PBS. I have heard so much about this project and have added the book to my must list. Did you know:
"More girls have been killed in the last fifty years, precisely because they were girls, than men were killed in all the wars of the twentieth century".
That should concern us all as women (and men, after all these are human rights issues and not just women's issues), the grave injustices women continue to suffer. Sometimes it starts by educating ourselves and then we can be better equipped to answer what next.
Hearing, reading or watching the struggles of women the world over and how they have fought to overcome them, will make you grateful for the opportunities you have and believe in the strength of a single person and the even bigger strength when we all decide to work together. Definitely an important and more than anything else, an inspirational piece that I hope most of you (and myself) get to check out.
