Just found this video while I was looking through some Peace Corps blogs. It's really well done, girl empowerment is one of the secondary goals while I'm in Zambia, and the video presents the idea that starting by giving one girl a chance to education can change the course of so much.
Some food for a thought, as I've also been following discussions on the group for awhile now:
ReplyDeleteOn Bill Easterly's blog someone recently criticized the Girl Effect: http://aidwatchers.com/2011/01/so-now-we-have-to-save-ourselves-and-the-world-too-a-critique-of-%E2%80%9Cthe-girl-effect%E2%80%9D/
And then someone criticized that person on his blog: http://aidwatchers.com/2011/01/it-takes-more-than-a-cow-but%E2%80%A6girls-still-count/
And that same day another blog said its not that easy: http://risingpyramid.org/2011/01/13/%E2%80%9Cthe-girl-effect%E2%80%9D-is-real-but-let%E2%80%99s-not-pretend-that-it%E2%80%99s-easy/
