Women and influence in society

The other day I read a book with the title "Desert flower" written by Waris Dirie, a nomad somali girl who by chance was able to emigrate to London and there became a photomodel. After working a couple of years she found also the courage to publically talk about a difficult subject, a tradition that has had an effect in many young women's lives on the African continent. Read more here what she would like to to in order to change that particular tradition, which she, by own experience, feel is not promoting genderrelated health at all in her homelands.

"I am powerful" is a campaing for women, that focuses on womens resourses for making vital changes for themselves and their families. A good slogan I think, it is well worth the effort to explore this site further and gather some ideas.
