Oprah to launch “For All Women”
We just got word from our friends at CARE that on today’s episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show Oprah will “deliver a call to action that places CARE’s mission to empower women and girls in the fight against poverty.”
This is inspired by the new book Half the Sky by Sheryl WuDunn and Nicholas Kristof (check out Colbert’s interview with WuDunn here.) According to CARE, “Oprah’s eye-opening hour will reveal powerful stories of women who have overcome adversity to realize a better life for themselves.” Then, after the program, Oprah will launch the “For All Women” registry which you can learn more about here.
This will no doubt be a memorable episode of Oprah, so be sure to check your local listings and tune in!
