She Rises Up
The road to eliminating poverty begins with her
91 mins
She Rises Up chronicles the remarkable journeys of three women who are helping to lift their communities out of poverty through the local businesses they fight the odds to maintain. Gladys in Peru, Magatte in Senegal, and Selyna in Sri Lanka reveal the explosive implications of women’s economic participation and the role entrepreneurs and small businesses play in women gaining financial independence, and ultimately reducing poverty for all.
