It will give you everything you need to help older teens andyoung adults better understand why we believe the oppression of women and girls worldwideis the greatest moral challenge of our time.Through the stories of women acting as agents of change — from Vietnam to Somalia, Indiato Kenya — students will discover the work being done (and still left to be done) to reducematernal mortality, gender-based violence, and sex trafficking.
