"Educating girls can break cycles of poverty in just one generation. Educated girls stand up for their rights, marry and have children later, educate their own children, and their families and communities thrive. Yet millions of girls around the world face barriers to education that boys do not. Removing barriers such as early marriage, gender-based violence, domestic slavery and sex trafficking means not only a better life for girls, but a safer, healthier and more prosperous world for all." www.girlrising.com

In celebration of International Women’s Day we’re screening Girl Rising at St. Michael's College. Please join us on Wednesday, March 5th at 6 pm in Cheray 101. This inspiring film follows the stories of nine young girls in different countries, showing the barriers they face in accessing education and the challenges they overcome as they advocate for themselves and others. There will be a faculty-led discussion following the screening. This event is free and open to the public.
