Sally Armstrong - Uprising: A New Age is Dawning for Every Mother's Daughter
The earth is shifting under the status of women. This shift is affecting intractable files such as poverty, conflict and violence. The role you play in the shift is pivotal for your daughters and your sons.
Hear the compelling keynote addresss by human rights activist, journalist and award-winning author Sally Armstrong, and join in the discussion along with local community change agents working to change the status of women.
Sally has covered stories about women and girls in zones of conflict all over the world. From Bosnia and Somalia to the Middle East, Rwanda, Congo and Afghanistan, her eye witness reports have earned her awards including the Gold Award from the National Magazine Awards Foundation and the Author's Award from the Foundation for the Advancement of Canadian Letters.
She has received the Amnesty International Media Award three times, was a member of the International Women's Commission, a recipient of eight honorary doctorate degrees and is a Member of the Order of Canada.
Her new book, Ascent of Women: Our turn, our way a remarkable story of world-wide change, was published by Random House in March 2013. A revised version called Uprising: A new age is dawning for every mother's daughter was published in March 2014 by St. Martins Press in New York.
