Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn
The message of this book is heartbreaking. It's hard to believe that so many women around the world endure such oppression simply because they are women.
Although Compassion is in no way directly related to this book or this movement, you better believe that sponsorship of little girls in the countries where Compassion works is battling this issue. And the best part about Compassion's work? They are dedicated to holistic child development ~ including a child's spiritual development.
