Do something meaningful this Mother's Day ( besides thanking your own mom)

Honorata Barinjibanwa was just 18 years old when she was kidnapped from her village in the Democratic Republic of Congo by Rwandan outlaw fighters last April. She spent five long months tied to a tree - her captors untied her only to gang rape her. She survived to tell her story, but remains deeply wounded by the attacks.
Examples like this are just a small sample of the injustices directed towards women throughout the world. I've compiled a list of some of the current amnesty campaigns for women that you can learn about and ( hopefully) do something this mother's day. Please take just a little bit of time to realize how thankful you are of all the women and mothers we have.
