If you ever questioned the value of girls' education, ponder no more. 10x10's "Girl Rising", a new documentary depicting the lives of 9 impoverished girls from across the world, reveals how educating girls can ultimately change "everything". From helping the economy to decreasing the chances of disease, educating girls has immeasurable impact on a global scale.
The documentary illustrates the personal stories of Ruksana, Suma, Yasmin, Senna, Azmera, Amina, Wadley, Mariama and Sokha and the struggles they face in their communities to achieve an education. Challenging cultural norms, tradition and poverty, these girls rise above it all to create better lives for themselves.
The movie is filled with interesting and important facts regarding girls' education. 10x10's "10 Facts About Girl's Education" is just a sample of some of the startling statistics about girls and education that are featured in the documentary.
I highly recommend attending a screening of "Girl Rising" to learn more about the power of education as a tool in bettering our world.
