We are celebrating the release of our first issue of HER Journal—Women’s Global Voices. Our unique online magazine is focused on empowering impoverished women around the globe.
There is one story especially near to my heart. It’s Shanthi’s story, Skilled & Driven. Out of obscurity, forced to marry when she was still a child, and raising two small children as a young mother, she managed to pursue an education. This story highlights the tragedy of child marriage still prevalent in India today. We also chose to cover this in another article, A Marriage Made in Poverty. Are you signed up to receive HERJournal?
Our publication is completely free. However, if you believe in our mission to empower women, we invite you to donate $15 toward our education fund for girls and women.
