On July 30th, I concluded a successful Kickstarter Campaign to publish Faces of Courage: Intimate Portraits of Women on the Edge. I am extremely grateful and indebted to the over 500 backers who supported me in helping me disseminate over a decade of work on the lack of basic human rights of women and girls in the developing world and the efforts being made to empower them.
