Freedom Isn't Free. An Exclusive Conversation With Women's Rights Advocate, Writer and Philanthropist Dr. Cheryl Saban for Zefyr Life Magazine
'Rape culture and oppression of women are not confined to Middle-East geographies - as recently forcefully illustrated by , a documentary shocker on rapes taking place on American college campuses. It takes a lot of courage and generosity to speak out publicly about those issues to raise awareness and bring about justice and change, especially in the way victims' voices are being heard and acknowledged by authorities, be they University Deans or the police.' said Florian David , Editor-in Chief of Zefyr Life Magazine and CEO of Zefyr Worldwide in London .
Lina Daugirdaite, Zefyr Life Magazine's Co-Founder, added: 'I find Cheryl Saban's story incredibly inspiring and empowering. As Sartre said 'We are what we make of what others have made of us' and this is what we can all learn from Cheryl. We are so very happy to share Cheryl's ideals, and we hope that this interview will move both women and men alike'.
