I found this video over at Erin’s blog and it actually brought tears to my eyes. If you ever needed a reason to feel a little more Girl Power then this is the video to watch.
What really highlighted the “educate a girl and your change the world’ stance of Girl Effect was later stumbling upon this article. A film making group of women in rural India tackling sustainable living and food. See! The video was right! \
Exactly a month ago today this group of women - most of them poor, non-literate and dalit (from communities traditionally placed below the bottom rung of the pernicious caste ladder) - made an international debut with a multimedia publication titled Affirming Life and Diversity: Rural Images and Voices on Food Sovereignty in South India.
Go women! Go Women! Go Women!

I saw this on Queen of Spain too and put it right up on my blog- How true for so long girls have been second class citizens. Doesn’t take a genius to know that girls are the key to a compassionate world!
