Emphasis Preaching Journal

When Melinda Gates returned from Bangladesh, she shared what she learned about the humanitarian work being performed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Melinda said, "The one thing that touched me the most when I travel is the fact that so many women I meet don't have a voice -- not in their government, often not even in their own household." In order to empower these women, Melinda said those living in the developed world "can use our voices." We can give the oppressed women a voice in their future until social justice allows them to speak on their own.
