Empower Women
The talents of women are like a vast untapped natural resource. Though great strides have been made in the past 100 years, female voices are still significantly underrepresented in government halls and corporate boardrooms, and women around the globe make up a disproportionate percentage of people who are abused, illiterate and living in poverty. Films found here explore the daily challenges faced by half of the human race, including transitioning to womanhood, escaping poverty, being subject to abuse, raising a family alone, getting an education and making a place for themselves in male dominated careers. Watch these films and commit to working for gender equality.
