Equal Rights for Women and Girls

Home

About This Collection

Equal Rights for Women is a major category, like energy or climate change, of sustainability and the voices in this collection are of the present and the past.

If we don't address human rights and social justice of which the sustainability keywords and phrases include children's rights and welfare; human trafficking, slavery, and women's rights and roles, then as David Korten points out, we will not be able to come to terms with the limits of the planet and not even technology will be able to save us.

The documentary "A Miracle A Day" portrays the All Bengal Women's Union Welfare Home in Kolkata, India. Founded in 1932, this thriving refuge provides a safe haven for 150-200 girls, women, and babies—from infants to the elderly—offering escape from brothels, trafficking, poverty, and abandonment. It serves as a modern example of institutions depicted in the acclaimed film "Lion."

The home offers essential food, clothing, shelter, education, and vocational training, supported by dedicated staff and volunteers. "A Miracle A Day" is an uplifting testament to the human spirit's capacity to surmount obstacles and transcend adversity.
