Playwright and activist Eve Ensler once again speak for girls and women against violence at the TED 2010 annual conference. Her V-Day initiative has funded more than 11,000 community-based anti-violence programs and launched safe houses in the Congo, Haiti, Kenya, South Dakota, Egypt and Iraq. How did Eve influence audiences especially women in China ? Karen Jiang, our writer at Global TEdtoChina group, reports from Hong Kong with her interesting observations.

Last week, I watched an amazing talk on TEDxTaipei website by Ben Tsiang (蔣顯斌). Ben, co-founder of SINA.com, shared his view of empathy at Big Question Conference 2008. He is now running a documentary house called CNEX (short for China Next) with the mission of making 100 documentary films within 10 years about China’s society change.
