Summary:

The jobs women hold around the world are changing. The tools of the trade for some women are hexagonal wrenches, an ice ax, or perhaps a reporter's notepad. Women now work as auto mechanics in Nigeria, as mountain trekking guides in Nepal, and as reporters on the frontlines in Iraq. This week, the World Vision Report focuses on women who break through barriers to success by challenging culture and custom.
