Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan in a specially recorded video message at the Women for Women International UK Gala stressed that when you invest in women survivors of war, you spark a multiplier effect. Empowered women are crucial to reconstruction and lasting peace. Theyre not asking for charity: they just need a chance to show what they can do. Now is not the time to give up on these women: now is when they need us more than ever. www.womenforwomen.org.uk
