Anjali Mehta is a 31 year-old mountain climber challenging the \"seven summits\" to support international agencies fighting gender-based violence and to bring attention to the rights of transgender girl athletes. In the first part of this two-part BCR program, we asked Anjali about her mountain climbing experiences. See BCR #265.
This program is the second part of our conversation; Anjali told us about her organization \"What is the Power of We?\" working to unite the efforts of the many agencies around the world working to end gender-based violence. For her next climb, Anjali will carry postcards with their stories to the summit of Mt Vinson -- the highest peak in Antarctica. If you would like to share your story or that of a loved one, you can use this form.
Featured in this series is Nancy Kangas' rendition of Mary Oliver's \"The Poet Dreams of the Mountain\" and music from Wade Ripka's \"Eastern Blokhedz\" , \"Four Celtic Voices\" and \"The Shrill Collective.\"
