131 years. That's how long it will take us to close the global gender gap. Which means our children and their children will never experience equality ever in their lifetimes.Unless we rewrite that script today. A young girl was walking down the sunlit corridor of her college. In her hands, she was holding her engineering degree certificate that declared her as a second rank holder in a university of more than 100 colleges.She was excited, beaming with pride, ready to share this news with her friends and fam ...

My grandmother was born into poverty. Her parents could not afford for her to finish her schooling. And so at the age of 16, she was married off to a businessman, a man 10 years her senior whom she had never met who lived in a city far away.She went on to have six children, and she was determined that her children would not suffer her same fate. My aunt became a doctor and later a medical professor. My other aunt became an engineer.But for 650 million girls today, a century later, they do suffer my grandmot ...

Good evening everyone. My name is Selu and today I'm going to talk about the fight for women rights that is still continuing now across the world and then control over women's life, body and future. With that being said, let me ask you something.How many of you how many choices have you made this week on your own life like what to wear, what where to go and what to eat. Now imagine that the right to make all these decisions are gone. Like you woke up this morning and all everything of your life has been dec ...

Almost three years ago, I made a choice. I chose not to give into the oppression and pressure forced on me by my own government. So instead, I chose to step into a new chapter of my life.One where I could be the writer and the warrior of my own story. I could fight for what I wanted. With that being said, let me give you a little bit of information about myself so you guys get to know me.I was 16 when for the very first time I came here in the United States, especially in this college. Stepping to the class ...

Men and women can build a better workforce together. But first we have to stop pretending one gender is better than the other, writes @McCloskeyAbby (via @opinion) https://t.co/vIwlGThqKc ...

revolutionary women have fundamentally changed the world. 100 years ago, many thousands of young Irish women joined in radical organizations to fight for what the revolutionary Countress Marovich called the three great causes. the cause of women, the cause of labor, and the fight for Irish freedom. When our histories are written, sometimes those women make it into the margins, sometimes only into the footnotes. And Helina Maloney, one of those great women who fought for Irish freedom, had a response to that ...

[cheering] [applause] [applause] When I was 15, my halfb brotherther was killed in an avalanche. The mountains can take even the most careful climbers. Since then, I've learned to read snow and avalanches like a doctor reads vital signs.At first, to keep my partners and me alive as a professional ski mountaineer. Then to understand risk more deeply and now to apply that risk management to confront the biggest, fastest moving danger of them all, the climate crisis. And what the forecast keeps missing is our ...

Hello everyone. Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Camila.I'm a fourth year student here at Kim University and I'm studying computer science. But right now, it doesn't matter. All I'm asking you to do is either close your eyes and listen carefully because imagine a small girl who's passionate about how numbers work, solving math problems, and overall technology just fascinates her.But and later in life she chooses to pursue this college major and become a woman in STEM. But one person from her inner circ ...
