Speaker: Sally Armstrong, Canadian Journalist, Author and Human Rights Activist

Her work is easy to admire — providing an outlet to victims who want to have a voice, shining a light on struggles around the globe, driving change — and her journey is even more inspiring when you go back to the beginning. How did a high school phys-ed teacher with no aspirations of writing become “the war correspondent for the world’s women,” as she’s often called? How did a mom of three living in Oakville end up in Bosnia, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, and South Sudan, to name a few? In this episode of Live From the Podium, Sally Armstrong — multi-award winning journalist, bestselling author, and human rights activist shares the origin of her story, and why she believes “there’s never been a better time in human history to be a woman.”
