For some of us, our worst fear is becoming lactose intolerant due to our love of dairy products. Many of us have always been safe, always had an opportunity for an education, always had love and always had someone to believe in us.
Sad to say there are millions of girls and women around the world whose daily reality is of fear, pain, shame and violence. Half the Sky Movement is one that is close and dear to my heart. Women and girls like you and me in all continents are facing threats such as trafficking, prostitution, violence, and discrimination. These threats do not come and go...this is their daily reality.
The time is now for us to stand strong as women fighting for our SISTERS around the globe...If you missed watching this special and empowering documentary today, tune in tomorrow October 2nd to be EDUCATED about what your sisters are going through. We are moving passed being informed into ACTION!!
