The New York Times Magazine recently dedicated an entire issue to the global concerns facing women and girls; award-winning journalists Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn have been writing about these subjects for years and their book Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide was published this week; the Campaign for Female Education (Camfed), a non-profit that fights poverty and AIDS in rural Africa by educating girls and investing in their economic independence, produced the award-winning movie "Where Water Meets the Sky"; and the Clinton Global Initiative is dedicating a panel to "Investing in Women & Girls" on September 23rd.

JANERA.com, The Voice of Global Nomads, is a new online publication and social network for and by a vibrant community of Global Nomads. We link you across streets and oceans, creating a virtual-and actual-community of like-minded individuals.

Through our salons held in cities around the world, our Web site and our weekly newsletters, we take international affairs out of the academic and activist circles and bring global topics to a diverse, savvy and influential urban audience. By generating deeper understanding through these encounters- both online and in-person-we strive to be a catalyst for change throughout the world. To view past JANERA events click here.
