EVENT DETAILS
Half the Sky is inspired by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Nicholas Kristof’s and Sheryl WuDunn’s New York Times bestseller, “Half The Sky,” which follows the stories of extraordinary women around the world as they struggle to overcome oppression. Kristof and WuDunn focus on three major problems facing women – sex trafficking, maternal mortality and violence against women. They argue that empowering women is the key to alleviating poverty and uplifting communities in developing countries.
“Woineshet” is a new film about a poor Ethiopian girl who ultimately triumphs over sexual violence and discrimination. As a teenager from a small village in Ethiopia, Woineshet and her family bravely fought against brutal local traditions of rape and forced marriage. The co-directorial debut of Marisa Tomei and Lisa Leone, “Woineshet” is an adaptation of this brave and inspirational true story.

The principal mission of women's preparation in any overall population is to enhance the life of women and to make that biowritingservice.com/guide-on-how-to-write-an-autobiography-of-myself/ society made. When they (women) will have the ability to deal with their issues themselves without the guide of men they'll be very sensible for the overall population.
I cherished the tale of my granddad in which he educated me regarding his day by day schedule of setting off for college https://www.paraphrasingservices.net/resume-rewrite-resume-free-of-common-mistakes/ on feet. I was dazed to hear his words when he said me that I used to head off to college on feet which was in excess of ten miles from home.
