In 2006, UNICEF invited youth from around the globe to share their own photographs and stories of women they admire. This booklet features the stories of the eight finalists - inspirational vignettes about their mothers, sisters, teachers, friends and neighbours. The publication and its accompanying multimedia version were part of the launch of The State of the World's Children 2007, UNICEF's flagship report that argues that when women are empowered to make decisions, they are more able to fulfil their own rights and to support their children's rights as well.
