Zainab Salbi

At just 10 years old, Zainab Salbi lived life at the heart of danger:  With her family living under forced compliance to Saddam Hussein, resistance to his regime could only come in the form of small acts and whispers. Now, as the founder and president of Women for Women International, Salbi uses these same small acts to fight global injustice. Guest Zainab Salbi joins Mary Daley and host Joan Brown Campell, Director of Religion, to discuss how just $27 and a letter have helped 100,000 women war survivors around the world.

I have just readthe article in Time Magazine (May 12,2008) about Zainab Salbi.It broke my heart to read once again of the inhumane treatment of women around the world. My broken heart will not help any of them but my action can. Tell me what to do.Sincerely, Mickey Newton

Very proud of your cause and your work Zainab. I personally chose to work with children, and have started doing so by raising awareness through writing. I hope one day to reach the world like you did.
All the best and keep rising.
