From two of our most fiercely moral voices, a passionate call to arms against our era’s most pervasive human rights violation: the oppression of women and girls in the developing world.
With Pulitzer Prize winners Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn as our guides, we undertake an odyssey through Africa and Asia to meet the extraordinary women struggling there, among them a Cambodian teenager sold into sex slavery and an Ethiopian woman who suffered devastating injuries in childbirth. Drawing on the breadth of their combined reporting experience, Kristof and WuDunn depict our world with anger, sadness, clarity, and, ultimately, hope.
They show how a little help can transform the lives of women and girls abroad. That Cambodian girl eventually escaped from her brothel and, with assistance from an aid group, built a thriving retail business that supports her family. The Ethiopian woman had her injuries repaired and in time became a surgeon. A Zimbabwean mother of five, counseled to return to school, earned her doctorate and became an expert on AIDS.
Through these stories, Kristof and WuDunn help us see that the key to economic progress lies in unleashing women’s potential. They make clear how so many people have helped to do just that, and how we can each do our part. Throughout much of the world, the greatest unexploited economic resource is the female half of the population. Countries such as China have prospered precisely because they emancipated women and brought them into the formal economy. Unleashing that process globally is not only the right thing to do; it’s also the best strategy for fighting poverty.
Deeply felt, pragmatic, and inspirational, Half the Sky is essential reading for every global citizen.
前几天在朋友圈分享过一篇文章叫“生为女人,我很抱歉”。最近发生了太多叫人跌破眼镜的事情,包括让女性医务人员吃黄体酮、剃光头上前线、累到流产还要歌颂牺牲…… 作为88年的独生女,从小到大从未感受过生为女人的差别,也更没有过月经羞耻,所以看到这些感觉像天方夜谭,对...
评分《天空的另一半》书写下了一系列第三世界女性的恶劣遭遇与不放弃的奋斗挣扎,这些女性之所以遭到奴役与暴力,有其十分复杂的文化、权力结构与政治经济因素。例如基于性别偏好而堕掉女胎、全球化运作的性贩运、阴蒂切除、荣誉谋杀、荣誉强暴,或者,将羞辱家庭的荣誉强暴扩展到...
评分我的老家在贵州,一个提起来关键词便少不了“贫困”的省份,2015的数据显示,全省88个县区中就有50个是国家重点扶贫县。大概十几二十年前,我还没有出来读大学,报纸上读到一则新闻,印象特别深刻,说影星吕良伟去贵州考察,冬天,气温接近零度,他看到一个小孩光着脚,纳闷地...
评分首先要肯定本书的确是一本好书。无论是写作手法、逻辑、故事性上说,都属上层。我对作者收集到如此多的材料,撰写此书,报以非常尊重的态度。 但是我说的可能有些刺耳。 整本书唯一的弱点就是站在了一个西方强权的意识形态上来讲故事。虽然很多章节强调了本地妇女自发的努力...
评分本篇列出专门援助发展中国家妇女的一些组织,但也有许多出色的救援组织团体没有入列,比如国际救援委员会(International Rescue Committee),联合国儿童基金会(UNICEF)、救助儿童会(Save the Children)及美慈组织(Mercy Corps),因为妇女不是他们唯一的帮助对象。这份...
Why not educate the men?
评分While it's horrifying to read about all the brutality inflicted upon women worldwide,I still see the chances and hopes for a better and more humane world.
评分As a public health student in the Global Public Health class we were required to read this reading. It was very narrative, while covering all the important points the author wanted to convey to the readers. Stories are very touching, yet lead to deep thinking after reading.
评分用大量数据说话
评分Commons reading done at midnight.感受到一股由内而外的冲动:maybe i could do something to help the needy and be the change i want to see in the world.
