Attend a Film Viewing Party: She Rises Up on Sunday, October 20. Join us for a viewing party of She Rises Up. This film reveals the explosive implications of women’s economic participation as we follow women from Sri Lanka, Peru and Senegal who are fighting to build businesses that create job opportunities for women, while also contributing to the reduction of poverty in their communities.
October 17th is International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. As part of our ongoing effort to educate ourselves on the status of women around the world, we have received permission to stream the film She Rises Up.
The viewing party will be held at 5903 Loreley Beach Rd., White Marsh, MD 21162. For planning, email baltimore-md@aauw.net to let us know you’re coming.
