Mary Maker : Why I fight for the education of refugee girls (like me)

Mary Maker TEDxKakumaCamp 2018  (transcript)
Why I fight for the education of refugee girls (like me)
Summary
I thought that the thought: "Educating a girl is a waste of time." have to disappear from the world.

Still, many people leave their countries because of wars. They have to live in refugee camps. They don't have a choice. Girls have to be someone's wife to eat. However, their children can't go to school, especially girls. Girls are said not to need receiving an education. Girls are not allowed to attend their mother's burial. Girls have to birth a baby boy, they will be killed by their communities.  In the cycle, the speaker was born.

Among them, only the education can help girls. With an education, they can survive. She experienced that by herself. When she had to give up going to school, a Kenyan lady and a man help her go to school luckily. She became a teacher but after that, she returns a student to prepare scholars for universities.

Educating can refuse to repeat history that girls continue getting.  It can create equal and stable societies and educated refugees will be the hope of rebuilding their countries someday. It starts with equal education of boys and girls. Education heals people who experienced wars and teaches having not only skills but understanding and hopes.  For helping refugee girls, the speaker continues to fight to create a new cycle that is an equal education.
