How does an ant eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Big problems are composed of smaller, albeit interconnected, problems. Solving the smaller problems will have an implication on the larger problems.

A Powerful Truth

Violence against women and girls continues unabated in every continent,
country and culture. It takes a devastating toll on the lives of women, on their families and on society as a whole. Most societies prohibit such violence – yet the reality is that too often, it is covered up or tacitly condoned.
– United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

I can't wait to read the book that touches on these stories...Half the Sky by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl Wudunn. Please visit their site and spread the word!!

http://www.halftheskymovement.org/
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.

Needed to compose you one very little word so as to give many thanks over again on the exceptional views you’ve contributed on this website. It’s simply unbelievably generous with you to give publicly just what many people might have distributed for an e book to help make some dough for their own end, notably considering that you could have tried it if you desired. These tactics also served to be the great way to recognize that someone else have the same fervor similar to my personal own to find out very much more with regards to this condition. I’m certain there are several more fun opportunities ahead for individuals who scan your blog. situs slot online indonesia
