Heights, IL
It's hard to believe a world exists
where little girls can be kidnapped and
tortured simply for going to school.
However, violent persecution is just
one of many barriers to education for
women and girls. In many countries
today, girls are more likely to die in
childbirth than to make it to the eighth
grade. Join this discussion to learn
about UN Millennium Development Goals
and what they mean for girls and women.
We will also discuss US Legislation
geared to support this global agenda as
well as local actions we can take.
Finally, we will hear from a grassroots
organization working to empower girls
and their families in rural Guatemala.
