About Me |
|
Women for Women International supports women in war-torn regions with financial and emotional aid, job-skills training, rights education and small business assistance so they can rebuild their lives. Across the globe, armed conflicts have reached an unprecedented number. Ninety percent of those injured or killed in today’s conflicts are civilians, 75 percent of whom are women and children. As never before, women are forced to bear the burdens of war. Thank you to all that attended and made the Women for Women International 2007 Gala incredible.
