100 years ago, in 1925, in Newfoundland and Labrador (Canada) vote for women was achieved. There were ladies reading rooms where women could meet and discuss & push for the right to vote.
The current climate changes is bad for girls especially after covid, they often do not go back to school however tablets/ cellphones are a way to help them get educated. Ofcourse do need electricity etc and the funds to obtain these phones.
Critical thinking is also necessary, think out of the box, and as Soon-Young Yoon, she discovered that the UN is the most democratic institution institute in the world.
Talk about the issues, and see how we in the developed world can help inspite of the cutbacks in funding by various countries.
