ending child marriage
As the United Nations launches the 64th session of the Commission on the Status of Women — the world’s largest annual gathering on women’s rights — we are launching a parallel event.
Join us for an exclusive screening of Woman, a gorgeous documentary film that examines the lives of hundreds of women around the world (including, briefly, our founder/executive director Fraidy Reiss). We’ll discuss the central question the film raises: How far have women come, and how far do they still have to go?

About the Film
Woman, from filmmakers Anastasia Mikova and Yann Arthus-Bertrand, is based on interviews with some 2,000 women around the globe. In a world where women are forced to marry, deprived of an education, forbidden from going outside on their own and subjected to myriad other abuses, the film is a message of love and hope.
