Lina AbiRafeh: Women's Rights in Dark Times

Holding women back doesn't just harm women, it holds everyone back - our economies, our nations, our future. If inequality is limiting us all, why aren't we doing anything to fix it? To build the unity needed to move forward, we have to connect to people's values. What kind of world do they want? For me, the answer is clear: we need women's full participation - everywhere. Holding women back holds humanity back. And building a better world for women is better for everyone. ~Lina AbiRafeh Lina AbiRafeh is a prominent women’s rights activist, author, and speaker, dedicated to eradicating inequality for women.
