Inspiring stories from women around the world

by Charlotte Page

If you're anything like me then you spend a bit of your lunchtime browsing the internet for interesting news snippets to read while you have your sandwiches (though I have been mocked and called a geek for this so you may not want to freely admit it). And of course being savvy Thursdays in Black supporters eager to find information on gender equality and keen to celebrate/commiserate for International Women's Day you're looking for something relevant for today.

Well I've saved you the browsing time because Christian Aid have some fantastic inspiring stories from their work with women across the world. Here you will find stories from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. Especially worth a listen is the podcast of an interview with Judith Wanga who featured in a BBC Three programme about rape in DR Congo.

And if that wasn't enough inspiring things to fill your lunchtimes for the whole week then I have one more top link to throw your way. www.girleffect.org has a thought provoking animation for your brain to mull over for the rest of the afternoon.

Happy lunchtime reading...
