With this essay contest, you were tasked with empathizing with over 60 million girls who are out of school worldwide. As we like to say at the Malala Fund: You are not silent. Thank you for standing with Shazia, Kainat and Malala to support girls’ education globally. This month the Malala Fund is asking students like you to help us urge world leaders to provide the funding needed to ensure all girls can go to school.
