For them, though, the choice is obvious. The only way to personal empowerment, agency, and ability is through this education. The safety they will have to forgo.

They say they want a place where they are safe, where they aren’t scared at night.” [...] [...] From the POP blog, here’s how young girls reacted to plans to build a women’s dormitory and library in Champhet, Laos, to replace the makeshift huts they stay in during the school week, before they walk home on weekends: “At the start of each school week, hundreds of girls from faraway villages have to choose between their personal safety and their education.
