Leymah Gbowee: Lås op for pigers intelligens, passion og storhed

Vinderen af Nobels Fredspris, Leymah Gbowee, har slagkraftige historier at fortælle -- om hendes eget livs forvandling, og om det uudnyttede potentiale hos piger overalt i verdenen. Kan vi forvandle verdenen ved at låse op for pigers storhed?

Empowering girls can reshape entire communities, yet millions still face violence, exploitation, and lost opportunity. In Liberia, three out of ten teenage girls become pregnant, and some girls as young as twelve are forced into prostitution for less than a dollar a night. Creating safe spaces where girls' intelligence and leadership can flourish has inspired young women to become advocates and agents of change for others. The dream of education and dignity for girls remains urgent, but examples of resilience prove that even small acts can ignite hope.
