actors must begin to invest more
resources
in
women
empowerment
and
girls’
education. The time to empower
all women is now.
There is no developed nation
that has succeeded without the
full participation of women and
girls. The United States of America
is the world’s superpower today
because
of
the
immense
contribution of women and girls
yesterday and even now. We must
not continue to ignore the impact
women and girls are making
around us. They are shapers of
global
modernization,

and

and girls were not made to always
be at the back. They are not
followers, but leaders!! They are
not second in motion, but first in
motion. The power women and
girls have must not be devalued
today and even tomorrow.
The qualities most women and
girls possess are unimaginable.
Some of them have exceptional
talents even more than their male
counterparts. Their contribution
to
national
economic
development has been and
continues to be crucial. Brigham
Young was right when he said
“when you education a woman,
you
education
an
entire
generation”.
In
addition,
Lawrence Summers, a former
Harvard University President was
also very farsighted in his
assertion that “Educating girls
