Did you know that there are 33 million fewer girls than boys in primary school? That 66 million girls are out of school globally? That a child born to a literate mother is more likely to survive past the age of 5 and twice as likely to go to school? And a girl with an extra year of education can earn 20% more as an adult? I know I was shocked too!
I would like to invite you to a film screening that I will be organising for a movement that I truly support; educating girls globally.
Girl Rising is a feature film, narrated by Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Selena Gomez and others, that tells the stories of nine incredible girls across the globe. It is also a campaign and a community that believes investing in girls will bring about transformative change for families, communities and nations. Using the power of storytelling and film, shared with and by people like you, we will spread the message that investing in girls benefits everyone.
Kindly find below the invitation for the screening of Girl Rising. Please try your best to make it!
You could start promoting this campaign by forwarding this email to your friends or by posting it on social media and tagging #GirlRising #WeAreGirlRising to spread awareness.
Looking forward to seeing you all, let’s fuel this movement and help educate the girl!
Kindly RSVP.
