Giving women education, work, the ability to control their own income, inherit and own property, benefits the society. If a woman is empowered, her children and her family will be better off. If families prosper, the village prospers, and eventually so does the whole country.
“The paradox of education is precisely this - that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated.”
“I've never understood what the upside of marriage would be for me personally.”
