This International Women's Day, Clayton chats to a very special guest, Kate, who works for Dignity Freedom Network (DFN). DFN raises awareness and support for women's ministry in South Asia. Kate is always seeking opportunities to ‘be a voice for those who have no voice’ and share how these exploited and impoverished women are finding freedom and hope. Kate says it is a privilege to represent these precious women and invites listeners to consider partnering with DFN's International Women’s Day campaign, so more at-risk girls are saved from a life of abusive sexual servitude, and more abused women can recover their God-given dignity.
