Let Girls Learn - Michelle Obama

Letting Girls Learn
Around the world, girls face complex physical, cultural, and financial barriers in accessing education. As a girl grows older the fight to get an education becomes even harder. Her family must be willing to pay school fees. She may have a long, unsafe walk to school. She may be forced to marry. And she often lacks the support she needs to learn.
In celebration of International Women’s Day on March 8 of this year, First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama gave a speech to recognize the progress made on the one year anniversary of Let Girls Learn, a U.S. Government initiative to ensure adolescent girls get the education they deserve. In her speech (a portion of the speech is here), she highlights the story of Fiker, an Ethiopian girl who was bold enough to stop an early marriage planned by her parents thanks to support from USAID.
