Stacey Abrams Instagram – I stand in awe of the extraordinary girls and young women who are not waiting to be asked to lead. Like Vanessa the Ugandan climate activist @vanessanakate1 . Condolizza, a fierce defender of a girl’s right to sex education and reproductive health. Kalpa, the Nepalese student who refuses to leave her sisters in learning behind. Karla @Karla_rax, who fights for the empowerment of girls and the end of child marriage. They are why we must pursue radical possibilities for girls’ education and civic participation.  At #WD2023 in Kigali, Rwanda, I had the honor of joining them and @malala in conversation on these critical issues. Yet, there should be nothing radical about demanding a better, more equitable world for our girls – it’s an obligation we all share. Here’s to finding and funding more spaces where girls’ voices are heard, their intellects are harnessed, their bodies are protected and their leadership changes everything. The future of our world depends on it. #GirlsEducation
