Public Policy Lecture Series


Zainab Salbi

 

Zainab Salbi

Founder and CEO of Women for Women International

 

Tuesday, March 6, 2012, 7 p.m.

MCLA Church Street Center

Eleanor Furst Roberts Auditorium

 

Ms. Salbi has raised her voice, and thousands of women have responded to the call, to help women survivors of war rebuild their lives through her organization, Women for Women International. The Oprah Winfrey Show has featured Ms. Salbi and her organization seven times.

Ms. Salbi is "a recognized force for women's rights and self-sufficiency," says the San Francisco Chronicle.

Time calls Women for Women International "a lifeline for women in war-torn countries" and named Ms. Salbi "innovator of the month" for her pioneering work as a philanthropist.

Public Policy Lecture Series is made possible through the generosity of the Ruth Proud Charitable Trust.
