ABOUT
Just as slavery was the defining struggle of the 19th century and totalitarianism of the 20th, the fight to end the oppression of women and girls worldwide defines our current century.
Hidden in the overlapping problems of sex trafficking and forced prostitution, gender-based violence, and maternal mortality is the single most vital opportunity of our time — and women are seizing it. From Somaliland to
Journalists Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn took on this urgent moral challenge in 2009 with their acclaimed best-selling book, Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide. Now, a landmark movement is amplifying the book's impact. Ignited by a high-profile national television event and fueled by innovative initiatives, the Half the Sky documentary is galvanizing even more people to join the burgeoning movement for change.
We look forward to seeing you at the screening!
