Dear Reader,
Girls and young women around the globe have been making headlines these past weeks in global politics. Power is becoming more female, but at the same time we still witness girls and women struggling to barely survive. In this issue, we invite you to read about female power and empowerment. Meet the first Afghan all-female orchestra, women taking over airline cockpits, read about FGM survivors and social entrepreneurs. Power grows in small steps.
With strength and hope,
-Kristina Kraemer
