Half the Sky

Have any of you ever seen the the part documentary Half the Sky?

It is an amazingly touching documentary of how women are treated around the world. They talk about everything from child prostitution to female genital cutting.



It is very sad, but absolutely worth watching if you have time. It is available on Netflix.

We watched it as part of my Psychology of Women class and it just makes me feel so lucky to have been born in Sweden, and not a country where the women being raped are the ones that bring shame to their family. In Sierra Leon if a women get raped it is not the rapist who gets the blame, but the woman.

Watch it if you can, it will open your eyes.
I just bought the book, so I am hoping to learn more from that one as well.
