What a week for recognizing young women throughout the world! At the age of 17, Malala Yousafzai became the youngest ever Nobel Peace Prize recipient, the United Nations spoke in depth about girls' rights in honor of the International Day of the Girl Child, the Women's Refugee Commission published a report on program planning for adolescent girls in Humanitarian Crisis, 11-year-old Ivy Jones has started raising funds for children in West Africa orphaned by Ebola, 13-year-old Alyssa Carson wants to be the first human on Mars and oh so much more! May all of these young minds be applauded for their work and may we continue to fight for human rights for all young girls throughout the world. We have a long way to go, and yet with each girl whom I encounter through my work, my hope for the future shines even brighter.
