Tales of passion

Change happens when passionate hearts refuse to accept injustice and silence. Stories of women like Rose Mapendo, who survived 16 months in a Congolese death camp with her children, reveal the strength found in adversity and love. Empowering women is not just fair, it benefits entire societies, yet women own less than one percent of the world’s assets despite doing most of its labor. True progress depends on unleashing the energy and creativity of women everywhere.
