The whole world is facing a crisis – in health, in conflict, in finding the way forward.

The solution isn’t simple but the method is. It’s education and in particular – the education of women and girls.

Examples are available all over the world from the stories of Malala Yousafzai and Greta Thunberg to the girls in Afghanistan and the Calgary women who started an education program in that conflicted country that made the biggest changes the world had ever known. It’s being said “The Taliban may take the Afghan girl out of school but they’ll never take the knowledge away from the girl.”  

Teachers and best practices are core to advancement and recovery. I will tell you how it is as relevant here at home as it is globally.

Book Title: 

Power Shift: The Longest Revolution

Book Description:

The facts are indisputable. When women get even a bit of education, the whole of society improves. When they get a bit of healthcare, everyone lives longer. In many ways, it has never been a better time to be a woman: a fundamental shift has been occurring. Yet from Toronto to Timbuktu the promise of equality still eludes half the world's population.

Award-winning author, journalist, and human rights activist Sally Armstrong illustrates how the status of the female half of humanity is crucial to our collective surviving and thriving. Drawing on anthropology, social science, literature, politics, and economics, she examines the many beginnings of the role of women in society, and the evolutionary revisions over millennia in the realms of sex, religion, custom, culture, politics, and economics. What ultimately comes to light is that gender inequality comes at too high a cost to us all.
