When girls get the education they deserve, our world gets better: Poverty goes down, economies grow, and babies are born healthier. But for millions of girls, the barriers to get in and stay in the classroom are steep—from gender-based violence to the COVID-19 pandemic.
That's why today, on the International Day of the Girl, the Girls Opportunity Alliance, a program of the Obama Foundation, is launching the Get Her There campaign—a global call to action to empower adolescent girls around the world to reach their full potential through education. To help get started, the Girls Opportunity Alliance is sharing the hopes and dreams of nine girls from different parts of the world through a new video, "Dear 25-Year-Old Me."
Former First Lady and founder of the Girls Opportunity Alliance Michelle Obama also spoke with two young women who helped make the video—and campaign—possible: actress and producer Marsai Martin and Ingrid Tuy, a student from Sololá, Guatemala. Below, the three discuss why we're in a "make-or-break moment" when it comes to girls' education—and why the message of Get Her There resonates so deeply.
