UN 21st Century - Malawi: Standing up for Women’s Rights
In many traditional cultures, women aren’t allowed to own or inherit property. Losing a husband through death or divorce can be a guarantee of poverty. But two women in Malawi have defied that fate. Here’s their story.   Then, if you’re a woman, there are places in the world where simply smiling at a man or refusing an arranged marriage can get you killed. But one country in the Middle East is leading the fight to stop these crimes. We take you to Jordan. And, in rural Egypt, if you’re young and female, your prospects of going to school are dim. But one young girl now has a chance to dream.
