Lake Highlands High School

The Lake Highlands Junior World Affairs Council (JWAC), a student organization interested in global issues, will present a special program on Wednesday, December 4, 2019, 4:15-5:15 p.m., in the Lake Highlands High School, L Building Library.

There are millions of girls around the world who are kept out of school, married as children, abused, trafficked and discriminated against. “Girl Rising” is a documentary based on the book by Tanya Lee Stone that follows nine girls from Haiti, Nepal, Ethiopia, India, Egypt, Peru, Cambodia, Sierra Leone, and Afghanistan on their journey to education. The movie speaks on the struggles of girls who face arranged marriages and child slavery and how they try to overcome these obstacles through education.
