One of the best ways to fight poverty and to fight terrorism is to educate girls and bring women into the formal labor force.
When we know that educating a girl can change the world, why wait?
Freedom from discrimination for women, ensuring that female children can learn to read, these are human needs for half the human race, not western values.
Girls' education is the single best investment that any society can make.
To educate girls is to reduce poverty.
If you educate a girl, you educate a nation.
I would like to see many times more dollars going into the education for girls. The World Bank has some wonderful statistics in terms of the importance of educating girls as a way of lifting whole societies out of poverty.
If I had the choice of educating a boy or a girl, I would educate the girl. If you educate a boy, you educate one, but if you educate a girl, you educate a generation.
