Empowering Women Worldwide

Join Johanna and I as she shares the injustices that our sisters are globally fighting and why she created Project Monma; an organization that aims to raise awareness about violence and discrimination against women and girls around the world. It is a global problem and is not confined to certain countries and religions; it is everyone’s problem. Violence and discrimination by men towards women around the world is severely under-reported and therefore under-acknowledged.
