This course is rich with information about women. The course enlightened me on how other cultures perceive women's health and human rights and their value to society in a deeper level.

You learn more than you’d ever expect to. Each module is detailed and with peer reviews you read first hand experiences of topic learnt in class. Really glad I took this course!!
