Education of women, is the key to ending the murder and enslavement of women. When a culture sees that a woman has earning power she becomes relevant. When a woman generates income..she becomes relevant and the spouse, town, state country, discounts her less. check out the thousands of reports and documentation written on this. This is one of the reason micro finance ( kiva) is so important for women.The best way to insure this is the education of women and girls all over the world.
Micro finance organizations work to educate women as well as assit them in starting their own businesses.
however girls need to grow up in a community that educates girls and most girls drop out by age 13.
Unfortunately, in order to educate and insure girls continue their education ..schools must have bathrooms, and the majority do not.
I know u all are going to jump on my ass for this but the solution to the problem is bathrooms/washrooms/latrines whatever u want to call them.
Girls when they get their menses often have to drop out of school due to lack of safe places to take care of such matters, lack of sanitary necessities, you want to stop the murder of women,,help them get educated..u want to help them get educated then help fund bathrooms..it is not glamorous and that is why u will see on
