Asia Society is delighted to host the first official screening of Voice of America’s new documentary, A Single Step, narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Sally Field. The five women profiled in this film are champions, agents of change, and making the world a better place in China, Japan, Fiji, India, and Liberia.
Please join us for this 30-minute film, followed by a discussion with a top-flight panel of experts on how to reach out to youth around the world with a message of hope—that young people, especially girls, can be involved and active in making positive global change. The panel will also consider progress made since the 1995 Women’s Conference in Beijing, the empowerment of girls and women, and what remains to be done.
Panel discussion with Aamina Awan, Peggy Liu, Beth Mendelson, Amina Mohammed, Josette Sheeran and The Honorable Kevin Rudd, will follow after the film.
