In 2016, these four girls from Lahore, Pakistan made this terrific 16-second video explaining why they became part of YJI. The first one, who broke ground as YJI's first girl student in Pakistan, is Arooj Khalid Behamni. After we began publishing her work, more young women followed. They didn't all know each other, but they got together for the sake of making this video. We remain in touch with all of them. On Saturday, Dec. 10 at 10 a.m. Eastern time, Arooj will be presenting in a free online forum on Zoom talking about her life, her commitment to girls education and her recently published autobiography in the new book by the Malala Fund, "Dare to Learn: The Power of an Educated Girl." Please join us! ... See MoreSee Less

We all leave our marks on someone’s history with our acts."youthjournalism.org/we-are-all-rosa-parks/"We are proud to live in the city that this great woman called home. We are proud because she didn’t see the city the way most people do, as a dark and ruinous place where people get mugged on a daily basis. Detroit was her home, and we are proud to call it our home, too."youthjournalism.org/her-legacy-makes-the-motor-city-proud/ ... See MoreSee Less
