Everything has to do with education: If you educate the girls, you educate the family, the community, and society, in general.

Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves.

Some girls cannot go to school because of the child labor and child trafficking.

When girls are educated, you get effects that cascade throughout society.

Every child has a right to education as much as to life, and every woman the right to live.

Education does loads of things for girls that won't surprise you at all - it provides self-esteem, teaches important life skills, and offers the kinds of choices a good education can give anyone.

I believe that we parents must encourage our children to become educated, so they can get into a good college that we cannot afford.

In Pakistan, the right to go to school is not a given. In the more rural areas, a girl is born, married off as early as 9 years old, and basically lives life under the control of men.

A child educated only at school is an uneducated child.

I believe education should be a right for every child, but tragically in many parts of world it is a privilege for certain children whose parents have money. There are 72 million children in the world who don't go to school and many of them are in Africa.
