Girl Rising Film Viewing & Book Discussion with Tanya Stone

SOLD OUT! THANK YOU EVERYONE! 

“Educating girls changes how nations behave.”

Girl Rising, a global campaign for girls’ education, created a film that chronicled the stories of nine girls in the developing world, allowing viewers the opportunity to witness how education can break the cycle of poverty.

In the companion book Girl Rising: Changing the World One Girl at a Time, award-winning author Tanya Lee Stone deftly uses new research to illuminate the dramatic facts behind the film, focusing both on the girls captured on camera and many others. She examines barriers to education in depth—early child marriage and childbearing, slavery, sexual trafficking, gender discrimination, and poverty—and shows how removing these barriers means not only a better life for girls, but safer, healthier, and more prosperous communities.
