As part of "Half the Sky" by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, actress Eva Mendes visited the International Rescue Committee-supported Girls With a Future program in Freetown, Sierra Leone. It focuses on keeping girls in school, building their confidence and skills and at the same time, reducing their vulnerability to exploitation.
