Clubs
Civis Femina
Thursday, Activities, Room 310. "Securing women's rights is central to all our hopes for peace, security, and sustainable development."- UN Secretary General, Ban Ki Moon
"Excellence without humanity is worthless."- Harold Koh, former dean of Yale Law School. Connect these two ideas together. So many women around the world are deprived of even the most elementary education, but instead are plunged into domestic violence, forced marriages, death in childbirth, and war rape, etc. Civis Femina seeks to empower girls in their young ages to step up and use the power of their education to bring beautiful change to the lives of women that are less privileged. Contact our club at hunter@civisfemina.org for more information.
