Iraqi  children Jiro Ose/The IRC

From our friends at International Rescue Committee

Girls will be girls. Even girls who have survived a brutal war and witnessed terror that none their age should ever face. Girls everywhere are full of beauty, boundless energy and resilience that can carry them through the worst of things. That’s what women’s advocate Ann Jones discovers working with IRC and the girls we help in Sierra Leone. If you’ve been following Ann’s blog on the Global Crescendo project in West Africa you already know the powerful change women can create when their voices are unleashed. Now, find out what the girls have to say. Photo: Ann Jones
