Women are undervalued globally because they earn less than men. But Samasource is spreading digital work to women in the poorest parts of the world, proving that work for women matters.

The Independent Television Service presents stories of remarkable women fighting for social and economic change against extreme obstacles.

Genevieve Vaughan suggests that an alternative economic model based on giving rather than exchange could help us recover from the global financial crisis.

It's tough being a working mother in the United States, says Karenna Gore Schiff. Working parents need legal and social support. They need more choices such as full-time, part-time, flextime, and time off.


For our Speaker Series, I.M.O.W. proudly hosted a conversation with acclaimed journalist Nicholas Kristof about the oppression of women worldwide and what can be done to improve gender equity.

Artist Tammy Mike Laufer uses digital manipulation to show how women hold the key to making imperative economic connections and strengthening our global economy.
