“We will shine a spotlight on those who are fighting for education, health and justice for girls and women by sharing stories about real people who are speaking out and rising up to change the course of history,” says Salma, who serves as the Executive Producer of the Chime For Change film unit. “These films tell intimate, personal stories—but these stories represent universal themes. And now we can all play a part by turning inspiration into action.”
