Dear Reader,
This issue compiles colorful, funny, extraordinary, heart breaking, inspiring and promising stories of girls around the globe. Colorful like the trucks in Pakistan advocating girls’ rights, extraordinary like the network for refugee women in Athens, heartbreaking like the tales of the many girls that are still trafficked every day, and promising like the news of so many girls getting into STEM. They are all different, but they have one thing in common: they paint a bright mosaic of change we have seen happening, and change that is still to happen.
With strength and hope,
-Kristina Kraemer
