Experience a groundbreaking new exhibition inspired by the critically acclaimed book "Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide," by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn.
Featuring documentary photographs, visual art, sound installations, and interactive opportunities for visitors to get involved, Women Hold Up Half the Sky is a wake-up call to the injustices perpetrated against women worldwide and the ways we can effect change. Confronting the malign persistence of sex trafficking, gender-based violence, and maternal mortality, the exhibition tells stories of women from around the globe who have changed their lives through education, economics, and self-determination.
Experience tales of perseverance, courage, and hope—and celebrate how individuals can be part of workable solutions.
