To all girls,

Any education for boy or girl depend on the person how they like to build their life. If they want higher education it is depended on their family. They have to manage their family first not to the whole world. Don't cry for education, if you manage you family go for it, no one will stop you to be an educated. Believe me.

Empower migrant workers with at least knowledge of their own human rights. Thousands of women leave Indonesia to work abroad as domestic servants each year. This year alone there are 200 Indonesian maids in foreign jails awaiting verdict on the death penalty. What is wrong with this picture ?

People like Noor, who are seriously committed to the betterment of their own situation, with a willingness to work hard and be passionate about what they believe in, deserve more than anyone else, the chance they ask for. BRAC, the organization supporting her plea now, is also doing amazing work in Bangladesh and elsewhere around the world. They should get our support and our heartfelt best wishes on their success. Please vote for them.

Noor Akhter represents leaders of teenage girls in developing countries who can contribute to reducing socioeconomic inequity and gender disparity. Hope she gets opportunity to do it for Bangladesh.
