LANJA is a journalist in Iraq, fearlessly giving refuge and voice to women beaten, burnt and threatened to death by their own families. MAIA runs an organization that works for women's health and sexual rights in the breakaway region Abkhazia, Georgia. Crossing the mountains by jeep, they bring health care to remote villages and battle archaic customs like "bride kidnapping". NELLY is the leader of a women's cooperative in the slums of Monrovia, Liberia, empowering women through education and hands-on ways to make money for their families. While thousands of miles apart, the women are united by similar challenges to fulfilling their shared dream of a better life.—Anonymous
