Saving the World's Women

This is a very interesting article I read on the New York Times a minute ago entitled Saving the World's Women. Really makes you worry about the state of women, and hopeful about our future.

There’s a growing recognition among everyone from the World
Bank
to the U.S. military’s Joint
Chiefs of Staff
to aid organizations like CARE
that focusing on women and girls is the most effective way to fight global
poverty and extremism. That’s why foreign aid is increasingly directed to women.
The world is awakening to a powerful truth: Women and girls aren’t the problem;
they’re the solution.
