Be Informed: What are femicides and why are they important in ending violence against women?
Femicides are a form of gender-based violence where women and girls are killed by a family member or an intimate partner due to their gender.

Be inspired: Paving the Way for Women's Land Ownership
"When you own land as a woman you cannot be discriminated against... I am feeling respected, strong, and protected."
For many women in the areas where we work, owning land doesn't seem like an option. Our change agents are proof that not only is it possible, but it is key to economic independence. Read inspiring stories of women owning land and what it means to them.

2 年On my way to the airport I shared a conversation with my Uber driver. She is a woman from Jordan that was married by arranged marriages first at the age of 15 and a second time. She escaped and lives in the U.S. with her young son that she had to leave in the loving hands of Latin woman so that she could make ends meet. She verbalized despair that his first language was Spanish and expressed Jin when he learned her native tongue. He is now fluent in 3 languages. Her family relationship has diminished and strained. Her father’s death has allowed increased communication. She is in law school now….She left such an impression on me. Women can and do positively influence change!
