In The News

The horrific gang-rape of nearly 200 women and some babies in eastern Congo made headlines all over the world today. Read about the tragedy on MSNBC or in The New York Times. It is deeply saddening.

But there is something you can do about it. It takes less than a minute to send an email to the 21 largest electronics companies demanding that they remove conflict minerals from their supply chains. This is an absolute necessity to bring an end to this kind of violence.

I am walking a thousand miles to raise money for these women who have suffered unspeakable horrors. Women For Women International helps these women put their lives back together. Please help. Donate today.
