Through her work, she has discovered the need for a holistic, balanced approach to conquer human rights, global health and social justice atrocities, and she has worked to bring PSI and partners together to address complex public health issues that affect women and other vulnerable populations around the world. Ashley visited Washington, D.C., while promoting her new memoir in April, and sat down for an interview with Marshall Stowell, Editor-in- Chief of Impact magazine. Marshall has joined Ashley on nearly all of her 13 PSI trips across Africa, Asia and Latin America. Together, they talked about what they had witnessed in the slums, brothels and war-torn countries.
