It is so important that you've alread...Louise,<br /><br />It is so important that you've already done work in Kenya and have known first-hand the ripple effect that terrible violence against women has. Your eyes are open to this, and we are your comrades in the knowledge of women's oppression (which is why I imagine we're all in this class), but you're on a great path when thinking about your next steps. If we could all pledge to educate others regarding the hidden injustices that we know exist, I think we can start the shift in places like Kenya, Sierra Leone and Cambodia.<br /><br />If you need help getting the word out, I'd love to think through some awareness campaigns with you. The film that Prof. Pruitt is in is a great example of raising awareness in keeping with the goals of Half the Sky. (http://www.theuncondemned.com/#the-film). I don't think we could make a feature film, but wouldn't it be good to get raise more awareness somehow?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03192921782376440109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302245627574027504.post-21992549712740659042016-11-15T12:36:26.690-08:002016-11-15T12:36:26.690-08:00I cannot agree with you more, watching this docume...I cannot agree with you more, watching this documentary was not a pleasant experience. Although it was a heavy douse of reality to in take all at once. It opened my eyes to what women go through in the developing world. It was really disturbing to know that the rape cutler is common and normalized among the societies mentioned in the documentary.<br /><br />We can always see gleams of hope in the end of the tunnel. That is what Somaly Mam made me feel. After what she has been through I cannot imagine the emotional and sociological damage resulting from what happened to her as an adolescent. <br /> <br />Anaafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043698357199845422noreply@blogger.com
