What does it take to take a stand?  Can you imagine standing in front of a soldier who is shooting at demonstrators and trying to block him from firing? Can you imagine being a woman in Afghanistan and taking a job, knowing the Taliban might kill you for it? Can you imagine going to war zones, reporting on peace efforts? Live Wednesday on YAK, 11am-12pm EST, we’ll talk with brave women around the globe who are taking a stand and making a difference.
