#62milliongirls

#62milliongirls is a US government initiative to help get disadvantaged girls into schools and to help them stay in school. This program is an extension of letgirlslearn.peacecorps.gov and girlrising.com. 

Girls and young women are one of the most oppressed demographics in the world. Subject to rape and sexual assault, female genital mutilation, child marriage, sex trafficking, missing education due to menstruation, and the denial of education, many girls never complete an education before they start having babies. Educating women, giving them the ability to make money for their families and communities, is a great way to raise the standard of living for women and men around the world. Please learn more about the value of making sure women have an education.
