The Queen & I: Rania Told Me She Has Always Wanted to Visit Bangladesh.
Last week I had the tremendous honor of attending an event with Her Majesty, Queen Rania of Jordan. She was in Washington to promote a great initiative for girls education called “10×10.”
The fact that around the world millions of girls are still denied an education, unable to go to school for reasons ranging from having to walk thousands of miles to fetch water for their families to lack of security to their menstrual periods is one of the most frustrating aspects of working in the field of women’s rights.
If girls are still unable to access education, what does that imply for the future of the global feminist movement, not to mention the economic development of countries?
