.the girl effect.

As women in the Western world, we have infinite possibilities and opportunities at our fingertips .... our society has paved the way for that.  And I am grateful.

Unfortunately, we often forget that this is not the case for the majority of women in our world today.  We are the minority here.

The Girl Effect .... The powerful social and economic change brought about when girls have the opportunity to participate in their society.



A better world all because you give girls educational opportunities???  Who knows?  Maybe.  If not though, shouldn't education for all little girls be the goal?  I would hope so.  I would think this should be more than a means to an end.  Either way, they've got something here.

i enjoyed this video...
and i like the idea of educating girls, so that they can make a difference and be treated with respect; and prove to men in their countries that they have worth and value.

love you
