<v Narrator>Welcome to the legendary Apollo Theater</v>

brought to you by Glamour Magazine.

and The World's Largest Lesson,

<v ->I'm pleased to welcome Editor-in-chief</v>

12
00:00:33.821 --> 00:00:36.680
of Glamour Magazine, Cindy Levy.

13
00:00:36.680 --> 00:00:39.152
<v ->We all want a chance to be great.</v>

14
00:00:39.152 --> 00:00:42.653
For most of us, that chance starts with education.

15
00:00:42.653 --> 00:00:44.680
There are a lot of powerful, inspiring women,

16
00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:47.421
working to solve this global problem.

17
00:00:47.421 --> 00:00:50.280
Julia Gillard, Charlize Theron,

18
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:53.320
the 16-year-old Plan International student advocate

19
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:54.879
from the Philippines.

20
00:00:54.879 --> 00:00:56.781
Nurfahada, you are our hero.

21
00:00:56.781 --> 00:00:57.614
[cheering]

22
00:00:57.614 --> 00:01:01.781
Our first lady, Michelle Obama. [cheering]

23
00:01:03.592 --> 00:01:05.050
<v ->This is personal.</v>

24
00:01:05.050 --> 00:01:07.471
You know, when I think about those 62 million girls,

25
00:01:07.471 --> 00:01:09.050
these are our girls.

26
00:01:09.050 --> 00:01:10.781
<v ->Young women are still seen as second,</v>

27
00:01:10.781 --> 00:01:12.661
or as third-class citizens.

28
00:01:12.661 --> 00:01:14.770
And until we start to stand up for ourselves

29
00:01:14.770 --> 00:01:18.730
and for our fellow women, nothing is really gonna change.

30
00:01:18.730 --> 00:01:21.650
<v ->If we wanna end poverty, educating girls is the key</v>

31
00:01:21.650 --> 00:01:22.810
to all of that.

32
00:01:22.810 --> 00:01:26.479
You are able to lead, and to shine, and to learn,

33
00:01:26.479 --> 00:01:27.621
and to teach.

34
00:01:27.621 --> 00:01:30.400
<v ->A lot of girls think that doing well in school</v>

35
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.010
will actually make them less attractive.

36
00:01:33.010 --> 00:01:36.480
<v ->There is nothing sexier than a smart woman.</v>

37
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:38.650
[cheering]

38
00:01:38.650 --> 00:01:41.890
We have been told to live by a certain mold,

39
00:01:41.890 --> 00:01:43.640
and it's time to break it.

40
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:46.645
<v ->You will not be successful hanging around people</v>

41
00:01:46.645 --> 00:01:48.370
who drag you down.

42
00:01:48.370 --> 00:01:50.269
I wouldn't be married to the President of the United States.

43
00:01:50.269 --> 00:01:52.519
[cheering]

44
00:01:55.249 --> 00:01:56.970
[yelling]

45
00:01:56.970 --> 00:02:00.640
[laughing and cheering]

46
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:05.461
If everyone here goes back and educates 10 other people

47
00:02:05.461 --> 00:02:07.381
in their lives about this issue,

48
00:02:07.381 --> 00:02:09.549
and then those 10 educate 10 more,

49
00:02:09.549 --> 00:02:12.869
just think about how many people start thinking

50
00:02:12.869 --> 00:02:15.541
of ways in their own lives, in their own communities,

51
00:02:15.541 --> 00:02:16.840
for having an impact.

52
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:19.509
So, you take a photo of yourself, you upload it,

53
00:02:19.509 --> 00:02:21.778
and you answer this one question.

54
00:02:21.778 --> 00:02:24.997
What I learned in school is blank.

55
00:02:24.997 --> 00:02:29.077
In school, I learned how to speak up for myself.

56
00:02:29.077 --> 00:02:33.244
But without access to education, 62 million girls worldwide

57
00:02:34.395 --> 00:02:36.509
will never have that chance.

58
00:02:36.509 --> 00:02:39.301
Join the campaign to let girls learn,

59
00:02:39.301 --> 00:02:41.858
by tweeting your photo using the hash tag,

60
00:02:41.858 --> 00:02:44.738
62MillionGirls, and telling the world

61
00:02:44.738 --> 00:02:46.847
what you learned in school.

62
00:02:46.847 --> 00:02:48.679
And then, you send it to everyone you know.

63
00:02:48.679 --> 00:02:50.429
And we've got so many people,

64
00:02:50.429 --> 00:02:52.376
we're gonna make this go viral.

65
00:02:52.376 --> 00:02:54.498
<v All>62 million.</v>

66
00:02:54.498 --> 00:02:56.407
<v All>62 million.</v>

67
00:02:56.407 --> 00:02:59.007
<v ->I, together with my fellow girl advocates,</v>

68
00:02:59.007 --> 00:03:01.519
have been asking government officials

69
00:03:01.519 --> 00:03:04.879
and policymakers to pass laws in order for girls

70
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:06.159
to go to school again.

71
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.807
<v ->It costs, on average, in developing countries,</v>

72
00:03:09.807 --> 00:03:12.557
14 cents a day to educate a girl.

73
00:03:13.628 --> 00:03:15.406
That's gotta be doable.

74
00:03:15.406 --> 00:03:18.967
<v ->Change for the positive oftentimes is incremental.</v>

75
00:03:18.967 --> 00:03:21.938
It's person by person, it's step by step.

76
00:03:21.938 --> 00:03:26.127
And all of that effort amounts to something huge.

77
00:03:26.127 --> 00:03:27.308
We can never give up.
