Violence, trafficking and gender discrimination are on the increase for millions of girls and women living in the 21st Century. SOS: Save Our Sisters is a simple but powerful guide to the human rights issues most affecting half our world's population. But this book goes beyond highlighting the ugly facts about female infanticide, child brides, girl soldiers, female genital mutilation, "honor" killings and other abuses. Its purpose is to inspire individuals and churches to prayer and action that can help turn the tide. Open these pages at your own risk! Once God infects you with His passion for the powerless, you will never be the same.
