Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center and YWCA Evanston/North Shore are partnering to present the Midwest premiere of a special exhibition at the Museum titled "Women Hold Up Half the Sky," which identifies one of the central moral challenges of the 21st century: full equality for women.
Inspired by the book Half the Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women, by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, the exhibition urges visitors to take action to improve the lives of women and girls locally and globally. Los Angeles' Skirball Cultural Center organized the exhibition.
The exhibition will be open until Jan. 22, 2017.
Most events are free to the public and all events require reservations at ILHolocaustMuseum.org/standup4women .
