Girl Rising
Girl Rising is a ground-breaking documentary about the power of girls to change the world.  The film journeys around the globe to witness the strength of the human spirit and the power of education to eliminate extreme poverty.

It tells nine short but powerful stories of nine ordinary girls from different countries.  They overcome nearly impossible odds to pursue their dream of education and a better life.

Why educate girls?

Educating girls can break the cycle of poverty in just one generation.  In the poorest countries, education has a tremendous impact.  It has been shown that for every extra year a girl is educated, she produces an extra 10-20% in income as an adult.  An educated girl is less likely to be married as a child, she is healthier and less like to fall prey to human trafficking.  She is more likely to value education for her children and create a better standard of living for the generations that follow her.

Around the world, millions of girls face barriers to education that boys do not.  Removing these obstacles not only creates a better life for girls, it also creates a safer more prosperous world for all.  Alina Guyon will give a short talk about the film and her work with the United Nations Foundation Girl Up.
