Rochester Hills (PRWEB) February 19, 2014 -- Featuring a special collection of four short films, the series was produced in collaboration with UN Women and the Athena Film Festival. All of the short films were produced by talented female filmmakers examining the real issues faced by women in all corners of the world. This event is open to the public. Admission is ten dollars.
Lori Blaker, President/CEO of TTi Global is the founder and president of the newly formed Metro Detroit Chapter of the US National Committee for UN Women and states, “Our goal is to get the conversation started on the importance of women’s leadership. It is our hope that women will come and be inspired by this event. Together we can help create awareness and advocate for the plight of women who have no voice.”
The Metro Detroit Chapter of the US National Committee for UN Women was formed in November of 2013 with the goal of supporting women’s empowerment both locally and internationally. Blaker encourages women to learn about these important issues that affect everyone saying, “ When women are empowered society wins. It is vital that we explore ways to come together to support UN Women in their amazing efforts to give power to voiceless women everywhere.”
