I think we should watch all of them because they all have something important that we should know like justice and the confidence to move forward.

I think everyone must watch the whole film because it is very important to know that all the girls have not been going to school as they have no money and so they have an important role.

I think they all have particular role to play so we should watch all the videos first then discuss about who we should choose to let everyone watch.

Cultural norms that are violating human rights must be immediately addressed and something has to be done to avoid that it keeps on happening.

I think it is ok to speak out immediately when human rights are violated  to avoid that it becomes a normal behaviour and habit with no consequences.

# data[].attributes.body
When, in your opinion, is it ok to speak out against cultural norms that you feel violate human rights and dignity?

It is ok to speak out when anyone’s right to receive education and make a decision themselves is violated. Itis  also ok when traditional beliefs disrespect and treat anyone inequally.

Thank you for all your comments. Please keep them coming.

Many of you have raised the issue that religious beliefs are the most important factor in preventing girls getting educated. While there may be some truth to this in some countries, there are also many places where religion is very important but girls are going to school and things are getting better.

Read this article to learn about the situation in Turkey, Indonesia and Malaysia for example: https://theconversation.com/gender-equity-in-schools-in-muslim-countries-it-can-be-done-32271

Also please note that the situation in some of the countries you discuss is new and girls have not always faced discrimation around education. For example, the picture below shows female medial students in Afghanistan in the 1960s.  Women in Afghanistan were given the right to vote only one year after the women in the UK and before women in the US did!

In Ethiopia, Azmera’s brother refused her marriage, what role do you think men and boys have in making sure women and girls are able to access their right to education?

The fathers and sons of everyone’s family should support their sisters and mothers. It’s a very important way to show their care and defend their rights, as they help them a lot.

We can see that traditional religion can really affect woman right just by seeing the video. Amina is require to be silenced and covered up due to religion. Which is a huge problem in the Middle East.

Cultural beliefs affect quality education and gender equality. For example, Mariama used to have a radio channel, but because of its religion, his dad stopped her from having the radio.

1. How does obtaining or not obtaining a quality education impact one’s personal future but also a community’s/country’s future?

If you didn't get a good education then your future and children would be poor and more likely to get sicker. If you did have an education then you could make money and be healthier. this can also make your countries economy greater

By having education, girls can learn how to protect herself. Plus if more people have education, the country's economic will grow too.

How did you see cultural beliefs and traditions influence the rights and opportunities of the girls in the film?
Many religious beliefs elevated the status of men, and set the status of women low. Some traditions don't allow the girls get education, they will get married early and stay at home. This limited the opportunity of women get education and be independent.

Not getting equally educated could both affect their future and the country's future. People who are not educated are less likely to get a job and suffer from poverties compared to the others, which would eventually affect the country's economy, by less GDP.
People who got educated are more likely to help the country out by dedicating in economical ways such as creating more businesses. Also, they are more likely to get a job, and they would be able to build up a stable

From the video, I saw that some of the girls have no money to go to school at a young age and was sent by parents to work. Which influenced me as it makes me feel that how miserable they are and the importance of going to school

" How did you see cultural beliefs and traditions influence the rights and opportunities of the girls in the film? "

I think because some places have different cultures and beliefs, it affects the way a girl or boy is brought up. In the film, we saw that some girls were forced to cover their whole face and body and forced to be married off at a young age. This prevents them from having a sense of freedom and takes away their rights to a quality education. They are stopped from learning and have to have children at a young age. The film also shows the parents of these children sending them off to different places for working purposes which takes away their right to an education as well. This is mainly for girls as boys are seen as more valuable and this is not right. We must do something about this and make sure this ends in many places around the world. Your gender shouldn't come between your rights to an education.

If all girls in one developing nation were allowed to go to school, the impact would be really big as this would provide a bigger number of people working to develop the nation they live in.

Everyone should watch the whole documentary because all the stories are very empowering. However, the story that stood out to me the most was the story of Amina that had to get married as a child in Afghanistan. I liked the way her story was presented and how strong and motivational it was.

I think its important that males like Azmera's brother helped her as it encourages more support of each other and can lead to better lives for girls.

"In Ethiopia, Azmera’s brother refused her marriage, what role do you think men and boys have in making sure women and girls are able to access their right to education?"

I think that it is really important that men and boys are aware of the gender inequality present in many modern-day societies and continue to advocate for all girls to receive these rights fully as this will only lead to the bettering of all societies across the world -- especially as men and boys are the group that do have the most influence in many societies. They should learn how to use their voice and influence to give those who have less or none.

The quality education will impact everyone, specially women/girls in developing countries. The education can change their whole life even their next generation.

Wether a girl in a developing country will be able to go to school will be highly dependent on the family's social and economic well being. However, it is evident from Ruksana's case that it is not only the economic well being that matters towards a family's decision of girls going to school, but also the parents' attitude towards education.

The violence against women and girls is happens all the time in a lot of countries. In case this kind of situation continues, we need to create a hotline to help them anytime.

I think Amina from Afghanistan is an important story to watch as I think it shows the true extent of how horrible some of the girls are treated and what they have to endure just for survival. It also inspires a lot of people to stand up and speak even if they feel that they are silenced, they have to stand together to fight for their rights to a quality education. It opens our eyes and teaches us to stop being so ignorant of what is currently happening around the world.

They have a particularly important role to play. Men and boys should have a clear understanding of gender equality.They have the right to raise and improve inequality between men and women.Their actions will invite others to join in.I am sure that women can improve their status quickly with men and boys' help.
