"Half the Sky" Screening

The School of Public Health, Global Public Health Scholars and the Maryland Half the Sky Student Movement invites you to come to a screening of Half the Sky this coming Tuesday, Oct 22 at the Hoff Theater. 

Half the Sky is a movement inspired by the best-selling novel and the work of journalists Nicholas Kristoff and Sheryl WuDunn to turn oppression of women into opportunity worldwide.  Hidden in the overlapping problems of sex trafficking and forced prostitution, gender-based violence, and maternal mortality, women are facing gender-based violence all over the world.  The Half the Sky Movement at Maryland is not only raising awareness of women’s issues, but also bringing together faculty, staff and students to share ways to get involved in opportunities to empower women.

Come learn how you can be a part of the Maryland Half the Sky movement that is galvanizing campus and people worldwide to confront these issues head on and become agents of meaningful change.   

Following the documentary, a panel and discussion will take place including representatives from RAINN and CARE.

***Snacks and drinks will be served and the first 30 people to arrive will receive a free Half the Sky t-shirt***
