Wednesday Wisdom from President John F. Kennedy

Today is International Day of the Girl – a day to proclaim that every girl deserves a future, including refugees. Every day, refugee girls are forced to flee their homes with their families in search of safety. This puts them at higher risk for violence, sexual abuse, child labor and early marriage. These girls deserve a better future – one that education can provide. Ensuring displaced girls can go to school means they will have a chance to reach their full potential.

 

Tell Congress the future belongs to an educated girl!
