I care about what happens to girls around the world. Take the time to watch the video and then sign the petition. Each voice raises the volume....

I asked a Burmese why women, after centuries of following their men, now walk ahead. He said there were many unexploded land mines since the war. Robert Mueller

The discrimination is terrible. It’s the education part that really gets me, because it takes away the ability for them to have the power change there life or the life’s of those around them. If they have no choice, they have no freedom.
The video is very powerful.

and it doesn't even touch on FGM, the right to kill a woman if she dishonours her family, or any of the other brutal acts that are legal in some countries...

I know, totally. It's just sick how women and girls are treated in some parts of the world.

Let us not get too complacent about how young women are treated in this country. The abuse may not be so blatantly obvious but the motivations for the abuse are the same around the world.
