Happy Saturday!
Looking for reading this summer? Coming to the page is book club Saturday. I've researched and read books from the areas in which WFWI works. I would love suggestions and input from your end too!
This Saturdays book is Half the Sky by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryll Wudunn.
“More girls were killed in the last 50 years, precisely because they were girls, than men killed in all the wars in the 20th century. More girls are killed in this routine gendercide in any one decade than people were slaughtered in all the genocides of the 20th century.
The equivalent of 5 jumbo jets worth of women die in labor each day... life time risk of maternal death is 1,000x higher in a poor country than in the west. That should be an international scandal.”
― Nicholas D. Kristof, Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide
