Former First Lady Michelle Obama shared a special message for this occasion. In her speech, she praised girls around the world for their “incredible resilience in difficult circumstances“. She highlighted the importance of education in the lives of women..

“When we give girls the chance to learn, we give them the opportunity to fulfill their potential, build healthier families and to contribute to their countries, economies, for generations to come.»
