Why Woman
Because I am a girl...
Being born a girl can be dangerous in all countries. Approximately one in three girls will be assaulted in their lifetime with an increased risk for abuse, domestic violence, child pornography, trafficking and rape. Women and children are violated, abused, and marginalized throughout the world. Girls involved in forced prostitution and pornography are increasingly getting younger and younger.
​
Children of forced prostitution in the United States is escalating because of the huge profits generated by this dark business. Trafficking in women and children plagues the United States as much as it does in underdeveloped nations. Organized prostitution networks have migrated from metropolitan areas to small cities and suburbs. The demand is increasing because of easy access through the internet, social media, gangs and organized crime. 70-90% of Johns are married with no criminal record, and are gainfully employed. 76% of transactions for sex with underage girls are via the internet.
Strength of Woman
"One women can change anything, but many women can change everything"
Today across the world 1.3 billion people live on less than one dollar a day. Sadly women are the poorest of that demographic, representing 70% who live in absolute poverty. That’s almost 1 billion women living on less than a dollar a day. This means they live a life of grinding poverty with few opportunities. Providing awareness and education, decreases a woman’s vulnerability to human trafficking, domestic violence, rape and HIV/AIDS. We believe passionately that economic opportunity holds the promise for real change in the world. When women have income they reinvest in themselves and their children's health, education and nutrition. This helps them build stronger families for generations to come.
Warrior Women
​
The United Nations status on women says that they perform two-thirds of the work, receive one-tenth of its income, and own less than one-hundredth of its property. Measures to improve the status of women around the world and their quality of life, must be connected to various economic development programs.
Women contribute a great deal to the family and economy globally. In many countries woman participate in agriculture and backbreaking labor.
They also cook, clean, collect water, firewood, in addition to other grueling tasks. Their responsibilities also include bringing up the children, taking care of the elderly, their husbands and animals. It’s the women who contribute the most in many societies, so it is imperative that we protect and safeguard their rights.
