In this speech, Michelle Obama seeks to promote her programe "Let Girls Learn" and celebrate its first anniversary. Ms Obama firstly explains that this programe arouse from the anger and outrage that the lack of education for women worldwide caused her and all people involved. She states that barriers for girls education are not merely economical, but attitudinal and legal. "In my lifetime" she says "it was perfectly legal for employers to discrimate against women". She further explains that the rights that women gained and now posse are being taken for granted while they are "at risk of being rolled back". These rights, she explained, were attained through protests and negociations, and for this, education was key.
She then provides touching examples of girls from developing countries and how they fought to beat their circumstances and become their own person. Because, she claims, "girls know that education is their only path to self sufficiency, the only chance of shaping their own fate".
Finally, she praises the US Government for leading the way in the issue, through scholarships, investments and the building of infrastructure. She explains that big corporations and even other countries like Japan, the UK and South Korea are involved in the project, along with people worldwide who participates and volunteer.
Ms. Obama is clearly involved with this issue, and the emotion can be felt through her words. The information she shares is veridic and reliable. And even though she seeks to promote her programe and her husband's administration in the process, I believe she is truly commited to helping women around the world.
