#DAYOFTHEGIRL
“I raise up my voice — not so I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard…we cannot succeed when half of us are held back.” ―Malala Yousafzai
❌130 million girls are out of school
❌71% of human trafficking victims are female
❌1 in 4 girls gets married as a child
❌Girls are twice as likely to become infected with HIV
“She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.” – Proverbs 21:35
Enough is enough. Together we can change this. Girls must be empowered to thrive and lead in their communities, and Exile’s programs are doing just that! We are seeing women graduate, attend university, and even become counselors and mentors to the younger girls in village programs. By providing holistic care, these intelligent girls have a chance to receive an education and a brighter future for themselves & their communities! #dayofthegirl
