Today, we bring you some good news! Girls literacy rates are rising, which means that more young women have access to education and are learning how to read and write. Isn't that wonderful?

The newest @unesco data shows how young women are making the biggest gains in terms of literacy. And, even though there's still much to do, stats around the world show which external factors are the most influential, and why there's more hope for the future. Finally, gender equality is starting to be more noticeable!

Watch this episode to hear what our host and founder, Alba, thinks about formal education and the different and inspiring experiences women can have once they gain agency through literacy.

Share this episode with your friends and family to spread the good news, and don't forget to tell us in the comments how you did in the girl's literacy quiz! 👑
