Marginalized Women

A marginalized woman:  a woman who has been pushed to the edges, viewed as less than human.  Throughout the world today, women are owned as property, are forced to deny themselves education, and are victimized by violence and assault. 

May we suggest a few sites that will help us understand plight of marginalized women.  We know this isn't a comprehensive list, but hope it will encourage you to study further and take a stand!
