Women For Women International:
As a result of war and conflict
in Rwanda and the Congo, women often lose everything that ever
mattered to them, including their sense of self. Their voices
are silenced. And even if they were to speak, there is no safe
place where they can voice their pain.
Around the world, women face some of the greatest obstacles
yet also represent tremendous opportunity for lasting social
and economic development.
