Girls Not Brides 194d ago

🗣️”Let our voices be heard.” In Malawi, Phillip invites us to imagine a world where a girl is eager to learn but unable to go to school because her family cannot afford the fees. For many girls, this is not imagination, but their reality as families often lack the money to pay for education or choose to educate only boys. He believes educating girls can break the cycle of poverty and dismantle barriers that hold communities back. Since this interview was filmed, the government of Malawi announced that secondary school education will be free for students in public schools — a testament to the power of collective advocacy. #MovementMakers like Phillip remind us that we are not powerless. 🤝 Together, change is possible. #MovementMakers #16DaysOfActivism #EndChildMarriage #Malawi 00:00 Introduction 00:25 The cost of school fees 00:54 We are not powerless 01:25 Advocating for free secondary school education Music: No Time To Remember, Remember The Future (Shutterstock) Check out last year’s inspiring stories from the 2024 #MovementMakers: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8ToDO5LXZ7pejZrTeOsIKAzcACc2zvYO
