“Girls’ education is the closest thing we have to a silver bullet to help solve some of the world’s most difficult problems,” says social entrepreneur Safeena Husain. In a visionary talk, she shares her plan to enroll a staggering 1.6 million girls in school over the next five years — combining advanced analytics with door-to-door community engagement to create new educational pathways for girls in India. (This ambitious plan is part of the Audacious Project, TED’s initiative to inspire and fund global change.)

Gratitude for a world that allows this to happen. The Taliban must be loosing theyre hold on these villages. Praying for this peace to continue. And the heroin that they sell for less than food had a real hold on people. That must be dealt with too. Praying.

@The Flaneur hahaha, oh yeah, people being free to live their life is logical abuse. Well done.
You’re dumb.
Now go strangle your sister because she didn’t marry your father’s business partners son like a good Indian.

The only abuse is that suffered by the kids, when educated women tank their whole families cuz of their selfishness. It’s a fact that educated women are much more likely to do so… jackass. Single motherhood is what society should be preventing, not educating womanfolk.

@Sandcastle • Yup. Cuz women love successful men who’ve established themselves.

What’s it like not having a dad around? Still have esteem issues? Did your mom ever apologize for “following her heart”, and fucking your life up in the process?

@The Flaneur that doesn’t describe my parents at all. Your ignorance is a symptom of your regressive world view.
Nice to know you still don’t care about your dead sister.

While education is admirable, India would do a lot better stopping the rapes. A few hundred castrations of rapists would do wonders for the quality of life all women in India overnight.

By the way, use the search engine “Ecosia”. That is a nonprofit Company which spends almost all money they earn into tree-planting.☺👌👌

In the West this has backfired, since now immigrant women have to leave their own families, to raise other womens’ kids, who themselves go to work to teach other womens’ kids. Government’s love it since they get tax revenue, and corporations get to cut wages in half. And that is why your kids are all fucked up. Pseudo-parents.

Empowering women is a big problem

Are they trying to empower the boys to?? Or just the girls??

Jack Chevy If you’re looking for empowerment for boys you obviously picked the wrong video. Yes there is lots of empowerment for boys. They don’t even have to try. Close to every famous successful person is a man. They are trying to balance it. If you just came here to comment that I feel sorry for you

Number of Out of school girls in India is far more than 1.6 million statistically speaking, Although the number should not make you feel better about your country.
