We often think that committing to a cause goes without saying, that it is natural, like an innate gift. The people you are about to hear from have all founded associations that support women in vulnerable situations. For some, this commitment comes after a long journey. For others, it comes after an event in their lives, a specific experience - a turning point, a revelation to oneself and others. In co-production with the L'Oréal Fund for Women, "Revealing" tells the stories of those who, every day, contribute to changing society.
