Women Empowered

February 19 – March 7, 2009

In 2004, I partnered with the organization CARE to bring attention to the necessity of empowering women in the global campaign to alleviate poverty.

I traveled to Africa, Asia and South America to gather the stories of extraordinary women in remote parts of the world who have empowered themselves and their communities.

Women Empowered: Inspiring Change in the Emerging World portrays a few of these women, remote and mostly unknown, on the vanguard of a global shift toward gender equality.
