Women's Rights

This is a great video but we need to do two things:

1. Allow ourselves to be weighed down by the knowledge that behind these statistics are actual people

2. Realize that empowering women is not a means to an end but an end in itself. We don't need to empower women because we want to eradicate poverty (though that's great and it will happen) but because women's rights are human rights and stifling women's potential is reprehensible and shameful.

I mentioned the second point very briefly in my submission for Amplify Your Voice on International Women's Day, 2013.
