LET GIRLS LEARN | The #62MillionGirls Yearbook
First Lady Michelle Obama launched the Let Girls Learn initiative to tackle a global crisis: 62 million girls worldwide are denied an education. Though educating girls has a significant impact on international security and economic stability, it's often seen as a soft issue compared to other global matters. To inspire change, we needed to raise awareness of the real cost of the crisis and help people emotionally relate to the problem.
Working with nonprofit Girl Rising, we launched the #62MillionGirls Yearbook: 62 million blank spaces, one for every girl missing from school. We asked people to fill it by Tweeting or Instagramming a photo of themselves and “In school I learned ____. #62MillionGirls never have that chance.”
