Financial independence is paramount. My mom always says that when a woman is financially independent, she has the ability to live life on her own terms.

Girls need to learn that they're allowed to say no and to speak up. This is what I work on in Africa with the girls, but the issue is global and I'm glad that women are speaking up and saying that we won't put up with it anymore.
