The issue to educate and empower girls has been around for the longest time. Up until now nothing much has been done to make this happen. Girls around the world face so many barriers when it comes to education, the main ones being poverty, early and forced marriage, domestic slavery, sex trafficking, gender violence and discrimination, lack of access to healthcare and lack of financial means. Girl Rising is long overdue. It's a wake up call to make a change now because by doing so it gives girls the opportunity for a better life.
