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.
So
let us be clear up front: We hope
to recruit you to join an incipient
movement to emancipate women and
fight global poverty by unlocking
women's power as economic catalysts.
It is a process that transforms
bubbly teenage girls from brothel
slaves into successful businesswomen.
You can help accelerate change if
you'll just open your heart and
join in.
