EDUCATION IS CHANGE When girls have access to educational opportunities, everything changes. They go on to find economic independence, purpose, and most importantly, their voice. They marry later, become mothers later, and become leaders in their communities. When women become leaders in society, peace and security follows. We have the global data to make these connections. The challenge is putting this knowledge into practice. Educating women is the path to a more peaceful future. Razia’s Ray of Hope is one way we start building this future today.
